That is not a bad idea. The only problem I can see with that approach is the error-reports will be hard to understand if they are not filtered through the maintainer of said Gentoo-package. I usually configure my git-repositories to use 'git describe' and add a -dirty or -tainted to that if the tree is not clean when building. This tend to capture the problem of local patches and gives me a hint that something is altered :) -- J. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
