ocaml 3.06-13, the libdir transition and the new ocaml packaging policy.
Hello everyone ...
Like promised, i will upload ocaml 3.06-13 today, which moves the ocaml
libdir to /usr/lib/ocaml/3.06. Thanks go to Ralf for finding a last
minute problem in the packages i had made available previously (i
suppose he was the only one who actually tested them).
Apart from the moved libdir, nothing else has changed yet.
Also i included (finally) the ocaml_packaging_policy patch from Stefano
about findlib and META files, as well as updated section 1 and 2 to
reflect the libdir change, as well as modified the virtual packages
provided to ocaml-3.06-1 and ocaml-base-3.06-1.
So, everyone, once you can get ocaml 3.06-13, please rebuild your
library packages, changing only the virtual dependencies to ocaml-3.06-1
and ocaml-base-3.06-1 and upload them. The sooner we do this, the faster
thing will return to normal.
Notice that dpkg will let you upgrade to ocaml 3.06-13 without checking
the virtual dependencies (Bug#170825), but apt-get handles stuff
normally, as you most probably noticed.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
