Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
wlex is a lexer generator for ocaml. It is no longer supported upstream
(as reported on author's home page
http://www.eleves.ens.fr/home/frisch/soft.html#patches/), since the
author has developed a more advanced lexer generator called ulex,
already packaged in debian.
ulex has all the features of wlex and thus there is no need to keep both
of them in debian/. Moreover wlex no longer builds properly with the
latest version of ocaml (3.08.3).
No package depends on the binary packages generated by wlex. Still, the
current version of pxp in unstable build-depends on it. Next version of
pxp I will upload in a few days wont build-depends anymore on wlex.
I think removal of wlex at the same time from both testing and unstable
will be needed to let the whole bunch of ocaml related packages rebuilt
with ocaml 3.08.3 enter testing smoothly.
TIA,
Cheers.
