Hello everyone. Well, it seem people are needing a nat/bignum implementation finally.
I have sucessfully isolated the old non-free bignum from the rest of ocaml stuff, this would need a new ocaml upload which installs config/Makefile somewhere (`ocamlc -where`/config/Makefile seems the natural place to put it). That said, building a new package for it, and putting it in non-free is by no way sure to work, since i don't really know if the licence is enough free to even go into non-free. I have written debian-legal about it though, should have cced d-o-m too, but forgot. Anyway, a copy of the standalone bignum can be found at : http://people.debian.org/~luther/ocaml/ Not yet packaged though. Now, about the free solution, i see two solutions : 1) make a standalone version and upload it to the archive (or experimental even). 2) upload a cvs snapshot of ocaml to experimental. 2) seems easier to do, but ideally, i should do both. What do you think about it. Friendly, Sven Luther
