Geneweb does not depend on any ocaml stuff. It only Build-Depends on
it:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.1.16), ocaml-best-compilers, ocaml (>=
3.04), doc-base, dh-buildinfo, iso-codes, po-debconf
Currently, I have two solutions left:
1) use a copy of Daniel CVS (he fixed geneweb so that it compiles with
3.07 and 3.08)
2) backport code changes needed for correct build to stable geneweb
4.09
I tested 1) and it works. I have a CVS snapshot from 20040815 which
builds properly
About 2), this needs help from Daniel and he probably prefers
releasing the 4.10 version of Geneweb from his CVS.
I still have to read possible answers from Daniel but I think that 1)
is the most probable way for solving this.
Unless I get clues for backporting compiling fixes in the next couple
of days, I will build a package from the CVS snapshot I have. Daniel,
do you confirm that it is ready for release?
