I'm not sure this is right. I should be able to apt-get source ounit, and, on a system with OCaml 3.09 installed, expect it to build a .deb that works with OCaml 3.09. But AFAIK there's no good way to make the control statement generic enough. A dependency in the control file is saying that I know this package will only work with 3.08 (or whatever version). But I don't believe that to be true. The on-disk format of .cmo/.cmx files has not changed, has it? -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
