ocaml-native-compilers is not the compiler that produce native code, but the compiler that is compiled in native code. On arch that have a native code compiler, ocaml-nox does contain a native compiler. > If ocaml-nox can build this package, shouldn't the native-code > spamoracle package. be built on all arches that have ocaml-nox? on arch that have natvice code, ocaml-nox can produce both the native an byte version of spamoracle. The ocaml-nox build dependency is the one that give you the posibility to build your package, whatever the arch your on. If your arch does suport native code, both the arch-all and native package will be built, and on arch where only the bytecode is supported, only the arch-all package will be built.
