Agreed -- I run into this frequently when porting to OpenBSD PowerPC, and it's much easier to fix it as we go along. Would anyone have time to put together an OPAM bytecode-compiler-only switch for 4.02.3? I can create the base packages easily then. -anil _______________________________________________ opam-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ocaml.org/listinfo/opam-devel
