It seems that the choice of the installation path depends more on
religious thoughts than technical necessities. The only thing I was
trying to say is that Joe User rarely needs 5 different versions of
GHC at the same time, so I prefer paths without version numbers for
my RPMs. Of course it makes sense for advanced GHC hackers to have
different versions lying around, but those people normally build GHC
from source anyway. And with the configure stuff relocating GHC is a
piece of cake, e.g. with
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/ghc
binaries go into /usr/bin, the whole rest into /usr/lib/ghc. So what's
the problem? :-)
Cheers,
Sven
