Re: ocaml: patches needed

2010-10-13 Thread Damien Doligez
Yaakov,

 Thanks for updating OCaml to use FlexDLL.  There are some further
 patches required for a fully-functional OCaml:

I agree with your suggestions, and I'll use your patches and cygport
file, except for the way you implement this:

 2) package camlp4 separately due to its size;

I think it's a bad idea to have something named ocaml that doesn't
implement the full upstream package.  What I will do instead is:

ocaml-base   for the system except camlp4
ocaml-camlp4 for camlp4
ocamlan empty helper package that depends on ocaml-base and ocaml-camlp4

I'm not sure what to name the base package: it could be ocaml-base or
ocaml-core.  Is there a generally-accepted naming convention for such
cases?

No, but Debian uses ocaml-base, so I'd suggest that.
