| Subject: | Packaging OCaml for Linux |
Hello, all-- I recently decided to try a new Linux distribution--Arch--and quickly became an enthusiastic convert. Now, I've noticed that there is no OCaml package for Arch Linux, and I would like to provide one. I'd like to hear the community's opinion on a couple of questions: 1) Which OCaml distribution should be the basis for the Linux package: the basic distribution from INRIA, or GODI? Why do you think so? 2) What about LablTk? Should it be included, excluded? Should I break it into a separate package, as is often done with Python/Tkinter? Is that even possible with OCaml? 3) Is there anything in the OCaml license that creates problems for a Linux distribution package? 4) Any other "gotchas" I should be aware of? Thanks in advance for your comments. -- Matt Gushee Englewood, Colorado, USA
