They run in an unpacked source tree as the pwd. However, this is not cached across build runs -- instead, the source is freshly unpacked and made available to the remove target. So you just need to make sure that you run the `configure` script if relevant. There's a special case for `ocamlfind remove` that doesn't do this; this will likely have to be generalised as OPAM moves the OCaml-specific logic into a separate plugin. -anil _______________________________________________ opam-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ocaml.org/listinfo/opam-devel
