[Yhc] Re: [Haskell-cafe] yhc install fails

[Thomas Hartman]

Thanks, that worked.  I think there's some weird issue with the way
the build happens that requires you to do

rm -rf yhc; darccs get http://...yhc

for a truly "fair" build to take place. I saw something in a bug
report about how things get cached.

That means that an ok from a buildbot doesn't mean that the build is really ok.

It occurs to me that if it's possible to get the buildbot to do rm -rf
and darcs re-checkout that might be worth doing, until the issues with
stuff getting cached get resolved.

But maybe that's smiting a mosquito with a flamethrower.
