Bug#451675: ocaml: OCaml support package: proposal

[Sylvain Le Gall <gildor@debian.org>]

Package: ocaml
Version: 3.10.0-9
Followup-For: Bug #451675


Hello,

I just want to know what are the plan concerning this package.

Here are just a short list of proposal concerning this package:
- package name: ocaml-support, because it has a lot in common with
  python-support
- VCS: svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/pkg-ocaml-maint/trunk/projects/
- Contains:
 - CDBS for ocaml
 - Policy
 - ...
- Native debian package

I think the best plan is:
- create the package by doing a pure copy of what is inside ocaml
  package
- upload and conflict with ocaml <= 3.10.0-11
- wait for the NEW queue

This will imply not being able to upload ocaml for the time the package
will be in NEW queue...

Regards
Sylvain Le Gall
