I've retought about this a bit and I realized that to follow the python way, as you stated, we have to add a new binary package to the archive for every library and remove the old binary package afterward. This is really overkilling, I'd rather prefer the ocaml + ocaml cvs snapshot solution now. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli - undergraduate student of CS @ Univ.
