I don't see a better way. We could have ocaml-tools depend on the new ocamlmakefile, but I do not think that it would be justified. In fact I am a bit surprised that packages actually build-depend on ocaml-tools. I had expected that people install the package just to have the latest version of ocamlmakefile around, and then copy the file into their project when they start a new one (as one does it for instance with config.sub and config.guess). % grep-dctrl -s Package -F Build-Depends ocaml-tools /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sources Package: approx Package: missinglib Package: ocaml-sha Package: ocaml-sqlite Package: pycaml Package: regexp-pp Package: syslog-ocaml I guess these build-dependencies are due to ocamlmakefile. -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
