Re: 3.07 testing migration status
Hello,
As you may already have noticed, ocaml 3.07 entered testing today (or
maybe yesterday already). This brings us to a migration time from one
month since ocaml 3.07 has been released, which is not bad at all.
So, the mini-freeze is over, people can reupload new packages, and they
will enter testing in timely fashion.
What remains to be done on my packages is :
o an Advi overhaul, will do this weekend.
o upload fixed lablgl, lablgtk & lablgtk2 packages.
o fix the ocaml bignum licence issue.
For the latest point. It has been about one month next week that i have
contacted Bdale Garbee and that he transmitted our request to the HP
legal team, and i have had no response, despite having pinged Bdale 3
times in the last weeks or so. Maybe they simply need more time, but i
am a bit disapointed by HP on this subject, especially given their
claimed debian support.
Anyway, i had plans to remove bignum this weekend, but a recent post of
Jacques on the caml list said that Xavier already has a fixed version
working in CVS, and i have asked Xavier if it would be ok to use this as
a replacement to bignum for the debian package, or if it is too early
yet. I have written Xavier today, and i will wait for his response
before taking action on this.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
