hi all, with jocaml and ocamlduce making their way into ocaml, I'm wondering how we're going to deal with the ocaml libraries in the future. The problem is quite easy. As jocaml and ocamlduce are from different upstreams we can't hope to have some magic binary compatibility and re-use the same ocaml libraries for all. In a perfect world, they would have binary compatibility and use only one version of each library, but in reality they are never going to be in sync, leave alone having binary compatility across different versions and flavours.
Depending on the interest, we might consider to compile three different falvours for each ocaml library. Of course this in theory a lot of space and duplication. Practically I don't think it would be a huge problem to create a package for each flavour. What do you think ? Am I just considering a non existing problem ? Shall we just leave jocaml/ocamlduce users alone to compile their own librairies and see how it goes ? :) p -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
