[Mehdi Dogguy <mehdi@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp

Owner: Mehdi Dogguy <mehdi@debian.org>

* Package name    : opam
  Version         : 0.9.0
  Upstream Author : OCamlPro

  Description     : package manager for OCaml

 OPAM stands for OCaml PAckage Manager. It aims to suit to a vast number
 of users and use cases, and has unique features:
 * Powerful handling of dependencies: versions constraints, optional
   dependencies, conflicts, etc.
 * Multiple repositories backends: HTTP, rsync, git
 * Ease to create packages and repositories
 * Ability to switch between different compiler versions
 .
 Typically, OPAM will probably make your life easier if you recognize
 yourself in at least one of these profiles:
 * You use multiple versions of the OCaml compiler, or you hack the compiler
   yourself and needs to frequently switch between compiler versions.
 * You use or develop software that needs a specific and/or modified version
   of the OCaml compiler to be installed.
 * You use or develop software that depends on a specific version of an OCaml
   library, or you just want to install a specific version of a package, not
   just the latest one.
 * You want to create your own packages yourself, put them on your own
   repository, with minimal effort.

Packaging is available on alioth:

	  http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-ocaml-maint/packages/opam.git

I'll be able to upload once ocaml-re and cmdliner are accepted and dose3 is
updated to a newer version (at least 3.1.2).

Regards,
