Package: ocaml-mode
Version: 3.11.2-2
Severity: minor

Hiya,

While loading .ml files into Emacs correctly loads caml-mode, it does
not seem to enable the syntax highlighting. For that, I have to execute

  (require 'caml-font)

as found at

  http://caml.inria.fr/pub/ml-archives/caml-list/2007/08/157da84ba0ef20f06f145c57f11bdbd9.en.html

It would be nice if this could be added to 50ocaml-mode.el so that
syntax highlighting is automatic.

Cheers,
Iain

Caml-mode is no longer automatically enabled for all users when the package
is installed. The reason for this is that there is another emacs mode for
editing OCaml programs, called tuareg, and users should be able to
choose which one they would like to use.

For this reason, users who prefer caml-mode are now invited to load from
there emacs initialisation the file "activate-caml-mode" which performs the
necessary auto-loads and additions to auto-mode-alist. It also activates
syntaxe highlighting, as you suggested, and for this reason I consider
this issue closed.

Best -Ralf.
