i just reinstalled FPS library with new version downloaded via darcs
(both old and new versions are 0.7, difference is few days only)
i run the following to update lib:
runghc Setup.hs unregister
runghc Setup.hs clean
runghc Setup.hs build
runghc Setup.hs install
and then i try to rebuild my app. it does not "feels" that FPS library
was updated and don't recompiled modules that use it. can this be
considered as bug? ghc 6.4.2/windows
If I understand your description correctly, this is by design. GHC
doesn't track version dependencies (in the .hi version sense) across
package boundaries, which means that if you update a package then code
that uses the package will not be automatically rebuilt by GHC. One
reason for this was to reduce the amount of clutter in .hi files and
speed up compilation.
Package modules are assumed to be pre-built and static, that's all.
Cheers,
Simon
