Does anyone upload Debian package that uses OCaml?
Hi,
I'm one of Debian Maintainer and translator, live in Japan.
Today, I want to ask you to do just one thing - uploading package to Debian.
Its name is "FailSafeC"
> Description: memory-safe implementation of the full ANSI C language
> It detects and disallows all unsafe operations, yet conforming to the full
> ANSI C standard (including casts and unions) and even supporting many "dirty
> tricks" common in many existing programs which do not strictly conform to
> the standard.

It uses OCaml, so I'll sent the mail to this lists.
You can get it from mentors, see
http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/maintainer-packages?action=details;package=failsafec
It's lintian clean :) ...but now cannot be built with OCaml 3.11 (3.10 is okay).
So, upstream author deals with that now. If it will be solved, does any DD upload
to Debian, please?
And I'm not familiar with OCaml, so my Debian friend Kei Hibino (CCed to him)
will maintain this package (I hope :-). He is good developer, loves (!) OCaml
and use Debian for his work (his company is ISP), and even more he knows upstream
author. so good :)
