Package: libcore-ocaml-dev Version: 0.6.0-2+3.12.0+1 Severity: minor
META file doesn't specify that core should be used only with threads. There is indeed a dependency on threads in the following declaration in the META file: requires = "bigarray, unix, res, sexplib, bin_prot, threads, fieldslib" But the 'archive' statements should probably require the 'mt' tag. And throwing an error in the absence of threads. However, this is a subotpimal situation, as there are many declarations and interfaces that one would wish to use even in the absence of threads. A much better situation would be to have a non-multithreaded version of core, that would, for example, not include the Timer module (that requires the Condition module and hence threads). Not sure however if this is a Debian issue or an upstream issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (700, 'stable'), (500, 'stable'), (90, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libcore-ocaml-dev depends on: ii libbin-prot-camlp4-dev 1.2.23-1+3.12.0+1 type-safe binary serialization for ii libcore-ocaml [libcore 0.6.0-2+3.12.0+1 Jane Street's standard library for ii libfields-camlp4-dev [ 0.1.0-2+3.12.0+1 OCaml syntax extension that enable ii libres-ocaml-dev [libr 3.2.0-2+3.12.0+1 OCaml library for automatically re ii libsexplib-camlp4-dev 4.2.16-1+3.12.0+1 automated conversions between OCam ii ocaml-findlib 1.2.5+debian-2~1 management tool for OCaml librarie ii ocaml-nox [ocaml-nox-3 3.12.0-1~38 ML implementation with a class-bas Versions of packages libcore-ocaml-dev recommends: ii libcore-ocaml-doc 0.6.0-2+3.12.0+1 Jane Street's standard library for libcore-ocaml-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
