We are going for the ocaml 3.08.3 transition. I made a mistake, and uploaded
lablgtk2 when lablgl was built but not yet installed, and as thus the lablgtk2
build as stalled, as well as all the builds depending on it which we have not
yet uploaded. It seems that the ia64 solution got solved, and may have been
only a signing issue, or something, in any case it was installed on march 29.
The hppa problem is that actually 4 packages are wrongly wait-dep'ing on
ocaml-3.08.3 and ocaml-nox-3.08.3, which are provided packages by ocaml
3.08.3, and a known limitation of our buildd architecture, which is why i we
planned to do a staged upload, where each package would be uploaded only when
all dependencies where built on all arches. Guess built was not enough, but
installed was the one needed.
You can see the dependency graph listed on :
http://pkg-ocaml-maint.alioth.debian.org/
either the .png version or the textual version, and see the hppa problem on :
http://lucifer.0c3.net/~buildd/hppa_Dep-Wait.html
the waiting packages :
ocaml-3.08.3 [_ []]
lablgtk_1.2.7-3 [buildd_hppa-sarti]
lablgtk2_2.4.0+2005.02.18-1 [buildd_hppa-sarti]
ocaml-nox-3.08 [_ []]
ocaml-http_0.1.0-2 [buildd_hppa-sarti]
ocurl_0.2.0-2 [buildd_hppa-sarti]
I sent mail to debian-hppa on sunday or saturday, but to no effect yet, so my
guess was to just forget about hppa for now, and continue uploading the other
packages in a staged way, since it is more important to get testing (altough
there where very little suprises so far) than having it built on hppa for now.

Well, he is listed on http://www.debian.org/intro/organization as both the
hppa and ia64 port maintainer, together with bdale and randolph, sorry for
this confusion then, but i guess the real problem is that there is no
canonical way to reach the buildd maintainers.
