I take the packages at people.debian.org/~luther, and upload them. These are the ones Jerome complained about though, so it may be problematic. They are ready and installed on my machine since a month or so though. Basically they are the same package as the ocaml ones, just renamed to ocaml-3.06. The next step would be to rename all executables to -3.06 or something such, but i would not like to do that before the 3.07 release, i think. > > o You and Jerome rebuild ocamlsdl and libpgsql with a system > > consisting of testing + ocaml 3.06 packages.

The problem is that the autobuilders will not play ball with this, so we would need to build everything ourselves, and i am not even sure we can use the debian machines for that, i don't know how the debian-admin would feel about installing unstable packages on the testing chroot, or create a chroot just for us, or that we could run a custom pbuilder on them, and this doesn't even accounts for arches where debian doesn't have machines.
