IMO: No. My development directories tend to litter up with files containing test input data, output data, profiling data, and all kinds of junk. Better to occasionally forget a file and get an error message in the mail when somebody else tries to use it (i.e. non-strictly) than have my darcs repository and Hackage sdists working but littered with junk. (My current testing involves 118GB of input data, you sure you want to see that on Hackage? :-) -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
