Yes, a release would be much better.
For me I need 2 features of oasis 0.3:
1) supports tiny static setup / tags / myocamlbuild files instead of
having those huge system specifc generated files with a few lines of
custom code tagged on. I hate having to commit a 1000 lines diff just
because my build dir is named different from the last commiter.
2) Library: foo results in a libfoo_stubs.a instead of libfoo.a
I've tried to convert libaio-ocaml to oasis. But the module is called
aio. So oasis 0.2 builds a libaio.a. But it also needs to link against
the systems libaio.so. There is no way to make this work in oasis 0.2.
The other thing is that ocaml-extunix is build with 0.3rc<something>.
Oasis isn't called at build time so building works. But if you have to
change the _oasis file then you have to lower the versions from 0.3 to
0.2 to be able to build extunix under Debian.
