Euh, what exactly did you do ? Since we are in the middle of an ocaml migration, just doing a NMU is not really helpfull, if one don't necessarily understand the issues at hand.

Oh damn, I forgot to send mail to the BTS. Please excuse me! Eric, as I don't have SVN write access, yes, the only thing you need to do is to merge the changelog. Sorry about the lack of interaction. At that time I thought this package was the only one holding KDE out from testing, so it seemed like pretty urgent to get it done, + the package seemed to be ready for weeks already.

The dummy bug is there also for documentation purpose to lessen the guys filling bugs because of the transition. > What is needed to get an ocaml upload to fix #1, and possibly #2 as well? #1 will be solved by dropping native support for hppa, #2, i guess we kick cduce out of testing and wait for ocaml 3.09.1, easiest that way.

From discussions on IRC, there are three outstanding issues for ocaml: - FTBFS on hppa. This is already a separate RC bug against ocaml (342704). - the ABI-breaking fix for cduce; it's my understanding that this patch has not yet been included in the ocaml package in unstable, and including it would require rebuilding all of the ocaml packages, but that this doesn't necessarily have to wait for ocaml 3.09.1. - a handful of packages that still build-depend on ocaml-3.08.3 or similar, and require sourceful uploads for the ocaml transition. These packages are advi, approx, camlrpc, cduce, cryptokit, lablgtk, missinglib, mlgtk, ocamldsort, pycaml, spamoracle, syslog-ocaml. Each of these packages should have a separate RC bug filed against it if there are no immediate plans to upload them. Of these packages, only ocamldsort has significant reverse-dependencies; so if the maintainers are not reactive, the other packages ought to be removed from testing to allow this transition to complete, and catch up again on their own time. None of the above issues should be particularly difficult to resolve, and none warrant keeping a dummy bug open against ocaml (except that the bugs from point 3 should probably be filed before closing this, I guess). Also, if cduce is the only package broken by issue #2, I'm not sure we should hold up the transition for it either at this point. What is needed to get an ocaml upload to fix #1, and possibly #2 as well? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
