Remove .hi and .o before recompilation?

Hi, at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=532443 several users have complained about problems with recompilation when upgrading ghc6. It is not entirely sure whether this is due to a Debian-only change, or whether it happens at regular ghc6 upgrades sometimes as well. Anyways, I think it would not hurt to remove the xmonad.hi and xmonad.o files before calling ghc6 in the "recompile" function. Would this be acceptable?

would it acheive the same thing (and be easier) to just add the -fforce-recomp flag (formerly known by the confusing name -no-recomp) ? - jeremy

unfortunately no: That flag (-no-recomp) is already in use in 0.8.1. Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
