Package: geneweb
Version: 6.08dfsg-5
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Debian 6.x should not be compiled with OCAML >=4.02 (the current OCAML version in Stretch and Sid), as it causes problem like this:

Example : " Married%t to [: 26 July 1813, St. Mary, Kingsclere, ] Deborah Foster ca 1795-ca 1857 ( "

Even if release 6.08dfsg-5 seems to have solved the problem compilation with OCAML <=4.01 (for gwc2), the binaries distributed in Stretch and Sid are currently unusable.

To my best knowledge, the only upstream geneweb version that can be compiled with OCAML>=4.02 is this "fork" of the development code for Geneweb 7.00 : https://github.com/geneweb/geneweb

The geneweb version in Jessie is OK, since it is built using OCAML 4.01.0
