Make ocaml-best-compilers non-virtual
Hi all,
I think we might have to make ocaml-best-compilers a real package, so that we can have versioned Build-Depends: rules on it.
Currently the ocamlbuild in experimental is using ocaml 4.02.3 from sid. I need to force it to compile against ocaml 4.03.0 instead so that it generates 4.03.0-versioned .cmi files, otherwise the camlp4 build fails (and others will too).
However, if I simply add "ocaml-best-compilers (>= 4.03.0)" into Build-Depends I still get an error like:
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: ocaml-best-compilers (>= 4.03.0)
so it looks like we can't do this for virtual packages. (Yes, I do have 4.03.0 installed For Sure Totally).
The alternative is to just say "ocaml-native-compilers (>= 4.03.0) | ocaml-interp (>= 4.03.0)" explicitly but this kind of defeats the point of having ocaml-best-compilers in the first place.
