What is the problem here ? Why do you rebuild the full ocaml, this is not needed, and i am seriously thinking of scrapping the ocaml-source package, in favour of the following practive. 1) i may ship some files some people need in their packages if they are well identified and there is a reason for them being there. 2) package who need some of the files of ocaml-source should integrate said files in their package. This should be only a few files. I know we already discussed this on this list some time back, i will have to check the list archive, which i cannot do right now. In the meatime i wouldlike to have : 1) a list of packages (and maintainers) which use ocaml-source, so each of you who use ocaml-source, please tell it to me, and tell me what exactly you need. 2) a list of non-packaged stuff which needs ocaml-source, or people who use it for their personal need. 3) The opinion of Maxence on the cameleon issue. I know that Maxence is susbcribed here, but i will cc him just in case. depending on the ocaml source is really a loosy way of coding, i know sometime it cannot be helped, but let's try to avoid that as often as possible. BTW, Stefano, you don't use ocaml-ldconf anymore, right, i can now safely remove it. Friendly, Sven Luther
