Hello Andreas, Another quick email before I disappear for the day. I've ran a diff and generated a patch between the plain 12-068 version (I cannot find its source on salsa so I just downloaded this tarball from the author's website but that shouldn't make any difference) and the mcl clone. ~7,000 lines in the patch all featuring new files and its contents regarding OCaml support but I will experiment tomorrow and see how cleanly and effectively I can apply this patch over the newer Debian packaged mcl. Kind regards, Shayan Doust On 01/06/2020 16:22, Shayan Doust wrote: > Hello Andreas, > > This may just be our only option.
