Re: both native & bytecode

Hello,
I have a few comments on your control file, I might be wrong since I don't really know ara : * if you don't need the Graphics or Tk modules, you should depend on the -nox versions of the packages (in particular for ara which does not require X, I guess). Anyway you don't need to depend on ocaml, ocaml-base and ocaml-base-nox since ocaml-base-nox is implied by ocaml-base which is implied by ocaml. So I would simply put ocaml-nox-3.08 in the Build-Depends. 
* Does xara-gtk really use lablgl? (it's in the build-deps)
* You should not build-depend on ocaml-native-compilers since it is not available on some non-native archs. You could depend on ocaml-best-compilers but anyway your app is, I guess, small enough not to require native compilers when available. * I don't really see the point in providing both ara and ara-byte (and idem for xara-gtk). You could simply provide an ara package which contains native ara on archs which support that and bytecode else. * I think you don't need to explicitely specify the lib dependencies for xara-gtk: they should be automatically put by the ${shlibs:Depends}. The only thing you need is liblablgtk2-ocaml (which should be there). 

Again, I had only a quick look at your files and I might be wrong.

Regards,

Samuel.



Basically in debian/control I have:

Description: A CLI utility for queries on the Debian package database
 ara is a utility for doing boolean regexp queries on the Debian
 package database.
 .
 The database lives, by default, as a text file under the path
 /var/lib/dpkg/available on your Debian installation. It lists all
 packages, installed or not, that are known to your Debian package
 management system.
 .
 ara can perform sophisticated queries on that database. It is possible
 to use any field of the package database as a search criterion and any
 boolean combination thereof.
 .
 This is the CLI version.

-----------------------

AFAIK, I can test whither to build native or bytecode this way:
from debian/rules:

-------
        $(MAKE) bt
        if [ -x /usr/bin/ocamlopt ]; then \
        $(MAKE); \
        fi
-------
Attached is a patch against the current code from svn. Please apply, although the install target remains to be fixed. I hope someone to fix it soon at full length, because I wont have the spare time to work on till friday morning.
