Hi, I guess I will have to take a week's vacation to read the svn documentation. Since I don't have that time now I just created and uploaded a new version of the ocaml-tools package that uses our new cooperative maintenance scheme:
Maintainer: Debian OCaml Maintainers <[email protected]> Uploaders: Ralf Treinen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Sven Luther <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Jerome Marant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Remi Vanicat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Stefano Zacchiroli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Policy Manual (section 2.3.2) says that the maintainer must be a real person or a mailing list, so this is OK. Besides I checked with the the tetex-base package and they use exactely the same scheme for the maintainer and uploaders field. You might have noticed that I was so free to put my name first in the uploaders list. There is a reason behind this (besides my megalomania :-) Since the Maintainer is set to the mailing list I suggest as a convention that the "principal maintainer" of a package is listed first in the maintainer field. That is, by default it is him who should care for the package. If anyone else wants to work on the package then he should send a message to our mailing list in order to avoid double work. > I have the intention of providing ocamake as part of debian.

I had the intention to add ocamake to the ocaml-tools package before uploading a new version, but then I realised that would have to write a manpage for ocamake, and I decided to leave this to Sven :-) So, Sven, if you wish to add ocamake to ocaml-tools please go ahead. Cheers -Ralf. --
