You're right, hack-nix assumes that there are too many variations of building packages, which is why it allows to change "flags" for individual targets. You're right, there are no "binary caches", but once a dependency got compiled its likely to be reused for other projects, most libraries get compiled fast once you have ghc - and ghc is the same ..
hack-nix provides another nice feature for "power users" (like you claim to be one): it generates tags for all depedencies, thus you can jump to source easily - eg map or sequence or whatever you use. There are pro/cons. Of course do whatever you feel happy with :) Marc Weber _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
