IMO there's no need. Just wait that the ocaml 3.06 situation stabilize in testing and the go and perform "dangerous" things in unstable, this what unstable is for. > This way, it could even be possible to have the old ocaml 3.06 and the > new ocaml 3.06 in //. ??? > And one problem that i didn't speak about, and that need sovled, is how > to handle the parts of ocaml that install outside of the libdir.

For the binaries I said something about them in my previous mail just have all ocaml executables followed by a "-<vers>" string and use symlinks. For manpages I don't know ... uhm ... oh, yes, just have manpages for executables (i.e. "man ocamlc-3.06") and symlinks also there. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli - undergraduate student of CS @ Univ.
