Pending OCaml-related packaging changes...

[Stéphane Glondu <steph@glondu.net>]

Hello,

Now that the OCaml 3.11.0 transition is (almost) complete, I've run some
checks against packages currently in unstable to spot possibly
problematic packages w.r.t. possible future changes we've discussed
(for d-o-m-maintained packages, uploaders are not shown):


 * Moving `ocamlc -where` to /usr/lib/ocaml: we haven't decided yet if
   we do the change or not, but we agreed that packages should no rely
   on the current layout anyway. The following packages assume a
   versioned layout of /usr/lib/ocaml and should be fixed to use
   directly `ocamlc -where` instead:

    Debian OCaml Maintainers <debian-ocaml-maint@lists.debian.org>
       cmigrep
       lablgtk2
       mlgmp
       ocaml-bjack
       ocamlduce
       pcre-ocaml

    Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>
       graphviz

    Mike Furr <mfurr@debian.org>
       felix
       ocaml-getopt
       ocamlcreal
       otags

    Sylvain Le Gall <gildor@debian.org>
       felix (U)

    Christoph Martin <christoph.martin@uni-mainz.de>
       sks (U)

    Fabio M. Di Nitto <fabbione@fabbione.net>
       sks (U)

    Peter Palfrader <weasel@debian.org>
       sks

    John Skaller <skaller@users.sf.net>
       felix (U)


 * The following packages still use old locations of files provided by
   dh-ocaml (we must fix them before removing compatibility symlinks in
   /usr/share/cdbs/1/class):

    Debian OCaml Maintainers <debian-ocaml-maint@lists.debian.org>
       json-static
       json-wheel
       lablgl
       mlpost
       ocaml-bitstring
       ocurl
       xmlrpc-light

    Enrico Tassi <gareuselesinge@debian.org>
       ocaml-expat


These changes are not urgent, but should be done (IMHO). I suggest to
file bugreports with severity wishlist (or higher?) with some usertag to
keep track of the progress on this topic.

Any comments/oppositions?


Cheers,
