Sorry, this is not true. In my day job we have an embedded device which is currently built on top of Ubuntu Dapper and which we're in the process of moving to Ubuntu Hardy. With Dapper there was one flaky package, libcairo-ocaml-dev for which we pulled the source package from Ubuntu Edgy and compiled for Dapper. Our Dapper and Hardy systems then have about a dozen utilities, tools and daemons written in Ocaml. This experience has been a complete joy. My manager who started as an Ocaml sceptic is a lot less sceptical now. > They don't have developers > committed to it and take a random snapshot of what's in Debian. A huge amount of kudos to the Debian Ocaml Maintainers. They do an fantastic job. However, you are seriously overstating any problems Ubuntu may have at least with regard to the LTS (long term support) releases.
