* Package name : caml-mode Version : recent (*) Upstream Author : Damien Doligez, Jacques Garrigue, Xavier Leroy, Didier Remy, Ian T Zimmerman * URL : https://github.com/ocaml/caml-mode * License : GPL2+ Programming Lang: elisp Description : emacs mode for editing OCaml programs Objective Caml (OCaml) is an implementation of the ML language, based on the Caml Light dialect extended with a complete class-based object system and a powerful module system in the style of Standard ML. . This package provides support for editing both Objective Caml and Caml Light programs with Emacs and XEmacs. . Caml-mode supports: - indentation - compilation and error retrieving - interaction with the toplevel - font-lock - imenu This emacs-mode used to be distributed as part of the ocaml distribution but was recently factored out by upstream into a separate git repository. This will become relevant for debian starting from ocaml 4.08 on (which is currently in experimental). This package will be maintained by the ocaml-team. (*) Concerning the version: since the creation of the separate git repo, upstream has not issued release tags. I have asked upstream to tag the commits they consider a release.
