Has there ben any progress on getting MLton packaged for Debian? Is there anything I can do to help? I haven't seen anything since Matthew Fluet's response. On Sat, Oct 30, 2021 at 10:39 PM Ryan Kavanagh wrote: > > Package: mlton > Version: 20100608-5.1 > Severity: serious > Tags: upstream > X-D

Henry is correct that the MLton compiler (the runtime, basis library implementation, and compiler proper) do not depend on ckit (or any of the (re)distributed SML/NJ libraries), the benchmarks, or on mlnlffigen, nor are those components required for using MLton (unless, of course, the program being

Your right, but I think (not on the basis of real knowledge) that ml-nlffigen isn't used in either the compilation of the MLton compiler, nor by the MLton compiler in compiling user code. I thought that it was for a MLton compiler user to use, and had been tweaked so that the output was usable by

Again, I don't think that that is anything used either in MLton construction or use. I would tink that if the license can be found and is good enough, like the ckit stuff, it could go in a MLton non-free package. Otherwise, I guess just remove it. Matthew? On Sun, Oct 31, 2021 at 12:41 PM Ryan Ka

As far as I know, the ckit stuff is just included because it needed some tweaks to work under MLton. I don't think that any of "our" stuff depends on it. I would think that the right solution would be to move it into a separate package, and that package would be part of the "non-free" world in Debi
