in any case, i'm asking because we do have a policy of remove all static libs (.a) and .la files. i just wasn't sure the .a files were static libs in this case, or just something completely unrelated. but since the others have .so, i think they are static libs. also, usually there are versioned .so files and the .so files themselves need to be in -devel; i guess it's not so for ocaml packages... > For any question, don't hesitate to ask to the current ocaml > packagers, they are listed at the beginning of this page: > https://wiki.mageia.org/en/OCaml_Packaging > > Also for any issue, or TODO things you can also use the ocaml wiki pages. did i accidentally reply to a br mail? i thought i put this in the bugreport, but i guess i'm not sure?
