Hello everyone ... At apt-source :
deb http://people.debian.org/~luther/ocaml ./ You can find the new ocaml packages version 3.06-16. After a bit of testing from me and you (and upgrade testing) i will upload those to debian/unstable. Once they are fully built on all arches (not before the gcc-3.2/libc6 sparc bug is solved though), i will upload a ocaml (and ocaml-base, ...) package which is empty but depends on the ocaml-3.06-1 versions. This should solve the build dependencies we were experimenting, and allow us to continue enjoying the rather clean ocaml-3.06-1 dependencies we are using right now. It will also further facilitate the migration between one upstream version of ocaml and the next, and is the same thing other are doing (gcc for example). A current problem i have is with upgrading, i did not do any trick for upgrading from ocaml to ocaml-3.06-1, but since the former provide the later, it may cause problem. Maybe i should add a conflict: ocaml (< 3.06-16) and also a replace: ocaml. I am not sure about the replace though, since we want to be able to have both installed at the same time later on. BTW, do we really need to keep the ocaml-base, ocaml-source and ocaml-native-compilers around ? These should automatically be pulled in by their respective depends or build depends, and the user should really only need to install and care about ocaml. Maybe if i only provide the ocaml (meta)package and have it depend on ocaml-3.06-1 and ocaml-native-compilers-3.06-1 (if they are available). Friendly, Sven Luther
