"slicing" ocaml 3.10.0: comparison with debian friends?



Hi Richard,
  in Debian we are almost ready to upload an official version of the
ocaml 3.10.0 packaging [1], I know from the caml mailing list that
you're working on similar stuff for red hat derivatives.

One of our remaining concern is that the ocaml-nox package is more than
100 Mb of installed size. About 70 Mb of that are devoted to camlp4
executables and libraries, hence we are considering splitting that to a
separate package.

Have you had similar concerns? If so, which kind of splitting you
decided to perform? I'll be glad to share opinions with you guys on
that!

Many thanks in advance,
Cheers.

PS similarly, I know you prepared the red hat derivatives guidelines for
packaging OCaml stuff and that you started from our policy. Feel free to
post suggestions for / improvements to our policy to our mailing list.
