I think so. I was going to suggest continuing to have ocaml-nox contain camlp4, for compatibility, but have a smaller ocaml-core without camlp4 that it depends on. But now I see that this name is (unfortunately, IMO) already used for a package that includes a lot of misc. tools. Is it too late to change that? In other cases (apt-cache search '.-core$'), it is used for just the essentials, not extras. > - ocamlbuild is installed upstream as ocamlbuild.byte / > ocamlbuild.native / ocamlbuild (the latter being a *copy* of the best > executable among the former two).

Do you like my choice? Yes, and please suggest it to upstream (unless the main OCaml tools are also going to move in the .byte/.native direction). -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
