My personal deadline is august 7th (this week only) since I will be on
vacation without any network access from august 8th for 2 weeks circa
(vacation announcement will follow).
My packages are in a good shape. I've ported all of them to ocaml 3.08
and, where needed, to gtkmathview 0.6.3. All build failures (except one)
are due to build daemons waiting for this or that package. The only real
build failure is for gtkmathview on mips, but it seems to be due to a
gcc bug which has been already fixed in the latest upload.
My latest upload (a few minutes ago) were editex and extlib, of course I
still don't know nothing about their rebuilds ...

I haven't followed carefully the license stuff, which part of ocaml in
the archive has currently license issues?
If 3.08.1 is going to break binary compatibility I seriously doubt that
we will be able to rebuild all our packages for it before Sarge
deadlines ...

Just ouf of curiosity: I've read the announcement, do you know if there
exists a mail in which aj declares he is going to drop or even the
relevant flame or something else on this issue?
