Package: dh-ocaml
Version: 0.9.3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/ocaml.mk

Currently, to use CDBS' classes ocaml.mk and debhelper.mk together, one should
have ocaml.mk occurring before debhelper.mk in order to have some
.debhelper.log files cleaned up properly upon clean.

Unfortunately, that has a side-effect, namely that dh_ocamldoc is called
*before* dh_install. That, in turn, means that dh_ocamldoc will not have access
to stuff installed in packages by dh_install: either your package install
everything via its "make install", or you provide appropriate includes to
dh_ocamldoc, or you're screwed :-), in the sense that ocamldoc will not find
some objects.

I think the appropriate fix is to keep as the best practice order first
debhelper.mk then ocaml.mk (so that dh_ocamldoc is not a problem) and
additionally implement in ocamlinit.mk the appropriate cleaning of
*.debhelper.log that are create by dh_ocaml itself. (That would also be more
clean, in the sense that debhelper.mk will no longer be a "dependency" of
ocaml.mk.)

Cheers.

thanks

The trend is to use dh, and not CDBS, nowadays. I think we can close
this bug (after 11 years of inactivity).
