Erm, since I'm upstream author of this I would rather prefer to package it by myself :-) I've never did it since I've no idea of how many people use this package. Moreover is really a tiny package (just one camlp4 .ml), do you think it's worth the effort to package it as a standalone package? Wouldn't it be better to add is as a debian add-on to the ocaml package or to the ocaml-tools package? I've no strong preference here .... Finally please not that this package is almost an hack and there is at least one bug I'm aware of, there is a syntax clash with functions applied to records with functional modification, like in the following code: type foo_record = { a: int } let foo _ = () in let r1 = { a = 10 } in foo { r1 with a = 5 } The above code, perfectly valid with the usual ocaml syntax, wont work with hashtbl_ext syntax extension and should be rewritten as ... foo ({ r1 with a = 5}) Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- Computer Science PhD student @ Uny Bologna, Italy [EMAIL PROTECTED],debian.org,bononia.it} -%- http://www.bononia.it/zack/ If there's any real truth it's that the entire multidimensional infinity of the Universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs. -!-
