My point of view of the task problem:
- We *have not to* make the task, in the tasksel meaning, related to
OCaml. Tasksel is thinked about first installation and we really don't
need ocaml task for users at first installation, anyway no matter how
the 10% statistic is performed: we can't reach it.
- We *have to* make the meta packages, _that are still used_ (e.g. kde),
because this are more usefull.
I really don't need a task package because I, like almost all debian
user, don't use tasksel: I use dselect. Thus I really need a meta
package if I want to install all ocaml related packages, so that I can
select it and automagically all depends package are showed up.
- I can do the two meta packages and I think, that the right choice is
the last one I showed, i.e.
task-ocaml (Depends: ocaml, ocaml-doc, ocaml-tools, ledit, camlp4,
camlp4-doc, ocaml-findlib, camlidl, camlidl-doc, ocamlweb,
tuareg-mode)
task-ocaml-libraries (Depends: camlzip, ocaml-netclient,
ocaml-netstring, ocaml-pxp, ocaml-shell, ocaml-xstr, ocamltk, lablgl,
lablgtk, lablgtkmathview, mlminidom, libxlib-ocaml)
Anyway I'm open to other opinion but: if we make two meta package we
can remove one of the twos and change dependencies of the other, if we
make only one meta package we can't add later the other one.
Is this a valid reason on which we (all) can agree?
Cheers.
