Why not ? Or do you plan to have both ocaml 3.06-15 and ocaml-3.06 3.06-16 installed at the same time ? > You must provide one dummy package per versioned package. > In the versioned package, you need to rename binaries > like ocaml.ocaml-3.06-1, and the ocaml dummy package will > provide a "ocaml" link to it. Mmm, i did not say that these where the definite versions. I think some kind of renaming is needed, like you say, and i will have to rename all executables, and provide links to it. > You need do do such effort for every common file as well. > (This is how it work with Python and GCC). No, only for the executables, the rest is already handled by the changed libdir, or am i missing something ? Friendly, Sven Luther
