And geneweb 4.07-1 followed by a few hours (I was waiting for ocaml 3.06 as broken 3.05 wasn't suitable for build as advertised here by Jérome, thakns Jérome). > to put there, i lost my mail archive), and 8 is about a new, cleaner way > of doing dependencies for libraries. (no more ocaml (>=3.06-1), ocaml > (<<3.07-1), but simply ocaml-3.06). Well, at this time, in geneweb, I have : Suggests: ocaml (>= 3.04), menu (>= 1.5), gwtp I don't really know why I added this Suggestion on ocaml....:-). I'll investigate and will probably remove it (geneweb can run without ocaml, of course). But I also have a "Build-Depends: debhelper, ocaml-best-compilers, ocaml (>= 3.04), doc-base" line. Why this line? First of course for properly getting either the native or the bytecode compiler, depending on their availibility on a given architecture....but ALSO because upstream developer (namely Daniel de Rauglaudre) mentions that ocaml 3.04 is *required* and sufficient (for what I have tested until now) for this version of Geneweb. If I replace my "ocaml (>=3.04)" statement by "ocaml-3.06" (or whichever further version), I will make package builds more restrictive without any real reason. For instance, the unofficial woody backports which I maintain for Daniel's FTP site will require a small useless change to debian/control... So, in my opinion at least, there are reasons for still carrying old way dependencies rather than the one suggested by ocaml_packaging_policy....and this is why I keep my Build dependencies as such...at least as long as someone convinces me that I am wrong..:-)
