Hi,
not all platforms MLDonkey is working on provide a
syslog-ocaml package. I do not have experience
including 3rd-party cmx/cmxa files while linking
MLDonkey core so I appreciate patches.
But syslog.ml is not really a big file so including
it in MLDonkey is easier than coding the optional
compile of it or its linking. I know this contradicts
Debian (and other distros) package management
philosophy, but in this case I do not care that much
for a file sized 7500 byte;-)
There are already other 3rd-party libs present in
MLDonkey sourcecode, like camlzip (incl. bzip2),
ocamlrss, xml-light, CryptoPP which would require
the same treatment. If its really important to use
existing Debian packages this should be done
in a broader way which works on many distros,
including the packages mentioned above.
This topic is very low on my personal to-do list.
Including 3rd-party libs reduces the management
efforts to provide compiling/working sourcecode
because its proven code, which in the case of
ocamlrss, CryptoPP and camlzip also includes
special modifications for use in MLDonkey.
BTW: I posted a bug report for libsyslog-ocaml-dev
because a new upstream version is available.
