Of course I can cause breakage, didn't you understand the example I gave ? > Mmm, What i think would be best is : > > Wait until ocaml 3.06 enters testing with all the libraries. > > Then do the change in unstable. > > So the people don't wanting things to break could follow testing, as > they should, and we can do the dir move in unstable in the meantime. > > If we do it right now, there will be no older ocaml 3.06 packages, and > this may break things. What I have in mind is: first thinking of the problem, then implementing it, then testing it with packages (in a stagging area) and when you're sure it works fine, uploading it to unstable. >> > And then, as an example, i will package ocaml-cvs, and you can look and >> > see how it works.
