As a mere observer, but one developing a product maintained by Ocaml maint team, and Mike Furr in particular, I think this is probably nice because my product actually contains substantial C/C++ code and substantial Python code .. AS WELL as Ocaml code. With the current setup there is actually a disincentive to split the package into multiple packages, because it would lead to packages containing only Ocaml, only C/C++, and only Python code, and it is a bit 'rude' for me to expect the Ocaml maint team to handle the C/C++ and Python parts. Nevertheless the software is fully integrated into one tarball at the moment, so the building of the multiple binary packages needs to be done from a single source (and all at once to ensure the internal dependencies met) So it would be good if a Python expert or a C++ expert could actually be able to provide support by being able to patch or NMU, provided of course Mike agrees. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
