Same META in different Debian packages.
Hello.
I'm wondering a few things concerning my OCaml-R package.
I am currently working on a 0.2 upstream release, and I believe that it
should be pushed into Debian only as of version 0.2, as it is a major
rewrite.
But I'm also currently writing some modules that depend on OCaml-R, such
as a module wrapping the zoo R package for time series objects.
I'd like to know how it could be possible to make such packages coexist
in the same directory. And whether or not it is a bad idea.
The thing is that I'd appreciate my Zoo module to live in
/usr/lib/ocaml/R/zoo. It seems to me that this would be the clean way to
do it, and it requires a META file that works accordingly, shared by
both OCaml-R and zoo.
So essentially, I'm wondering if there is a mechanism available in
Debian packaging that would allow a package to share a META file with
the OCaml-R package. Or perhaps there's a cleaner or cleverer workaround
somewhere...
Input and advice would be appreciated.
All the best,
