The problem here is that you might need to maintain an older release (bug fixes, etc.). Not sure how you want to do that with different revision numbers only. > I think that trunkXXX is made for package that are really dependent on > the version of OCaml (e.g. dependent on OCaml sources). True, and isn't this often the case? I think it's much more transparent to simply "fork" the old package directory whenever a new release of OCaml with new features is made. I don't want to test new releases with all compilers every time I want to upload them. It's just too easy to break old stuff by unknowingly using a new language or standard library feature. Maybe Gerd can weigh in on that. He has surely thought more carefully about the work flow and when trunks should be forked. I personally don't see any downside to my current approach, especially since most people upgrade quickly and are almost never more than one major release behind.
