I was looking at ocaml-tmk, this morning. I won't consider to package it, because i think upstream is unresponsive. But i would really appreciate to have a fork that only contains the curses binding (and not the tmk things). If Richard is willing to do the fork i will consider to package it (given the fact that i have been quite busy with many things including real life stuff). FYI, i will do a round of "package and upload" to debian someday between now and september. Regards, Sylvain Le Gall -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
