What is the problem here ?
Why do you rebuild the full ocaml, this is not needed, and i am
seriously thinking of scrapping the ocaml-source package, in favour of
the following practive.
1) i may ship some files some people need in their packages if they
are well identified and there is a reason for them being there.
2) package who need some of the files of ocaml-source should integrate
said files in their package. This should be only a few files.
I know we already discussed this on this list some time back, i will
have to check the list archive, which i cannot do right now. In the
meatime i wouldlike to have :
1) a list of packages (and maintainers) which use ocaml-source, so
each of you who use ocaml-source, please tell it to me, and tell me
what exactly you need.
2) a list of non-packaged stuff which needs ocaml-source, or people
who use it for their personal need.
3) The opinion of Maxence on the cameleon issue. I know that Maxence
is susbcribed here, but i will cc him just in case.
depending on the ocaml source is really a loosy way of coding, i know
sometime it cannot be helped, but let's try to avoid that as often as
possible.
BTW, Stefano, you don't use ocaml-ldconf anymore, right, i can now
safely remove it.
