No problem, i was just being a little provocative, that's all. > Speacking for myself and not for him, I read the documentation but I > usually don't read/understand every makefile of every non-debian > package I am testing.

Well, the problem is that i couldn't touch to the format of the /usr/lib/ocaml/ld.conf file, so we did this 3 file trick. Ideally, we would have only one file, and have the ocaml-ldconf tool modify it, but this would need patching the ocaml base quite some, which we couldn't do. Apart from the fact that /usr/lib/ocaml/ld.conf is not the right place for a file like that, or so says policy. > > > Perhaps findlib could add entries to a new /etc/ocaml/findlib-ld.conf > > > file that ocaml-ldconf reads when creating /var/lib/ocaml/ld.conf. > > > > Why not the simple /etc/ocaml/ld.conf ? > > I agree.
