Hi Jens, flash folk,
haxe fails to build from source on platforms without ocamlopt[1]. There
was a similar problem with mtasc[2]. Since haxe has a C portion, you
will need to follow the same procedure as I did with mtasc to fix this.
Basically I did this:
* patch and use install.ml
* build-depend on ocaml, ocaml-best-compilers, ocaml-findlib,
libextlib-ocaml-dev
* add ${ocaml:Depends} to the Depends line in debian/control
* test for the existence of ocamlopt/ocamlopt.opt in debian/rules
and use that to decide to build the bytecode version or not,
generate ${ocaml:Depends} and turn off stripping for the
resulting binary.
You may also want to check out the debian/maketarball script in mtasc
that integrates with uscan and supports the CVS tags used by upstream.
Also, what should our goals for the etch release be?

PS: please do not reply directly to me, my mail is down. I will read the
archives though.
