After reading this on the caml-list, I realized that my -dev libraries

libraries I have installed. Shouldn't we change the packaging policy
to recommend their inclusion?
This has been brought to my attention this morning as well :)
We can recommend it in the policy indeed (read: please patch the policy
accordingly), but I feel is more an issue of upstreams since we mostly
invoke upstream install targets.
What about wording it as: "you should ship .cmx since ..., if upstream's
install does not do that please push upstream a suitable patch" or
something like that ...
Cheers.
I think, we must also define a way to specify this in the META, with
something like :
archive(opt) = truc.cmxa
archive(opt,inline) = truc1.cmx truc2.cmx
This will enable easier integration with other library/program (you will
only have to add a findlib predicate to have the inlining).
Kind regard,
Sylvain Le Gall
