Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2011-10-13 07:37:01 UTC

This is my fault - since Fedora's xmonad uses dynlibs...

Perhaps we could make xmonad-start detect when the versions
change and force a recompile.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2011-12-03 06:22:56 UTC

This should be fixed in xmonad-0.10-1.fc17,
which should get be backported to F16 soon.

In the end I decided to drop the dynamic linking patch
since it still seems a bit too fragile for general use.
I will try to work upsteam on getting ghc/cabal to build dynlibs
by default instead - since that is really what is needed.
