[Caml-list] GODI news

[Gerd Stolpmann <info@gerd-stolpmann.de>]

Hi caml-list,

today the GODI distribution releases a new stable version of the
bootstrap tarball. This version includes support for:

- Linux
- Solaris
- FreeBSD
- NetBSD
- HP-UX
- MacOS X
- Cygwin

The latter four OS are supported for the first time. Read below how to
install or upgrade GODI.

There are also new packages, in particular:

- apps-unison: File synchronizer
- godi-camltemplate: Templates to generate web pages, SQL queries etc.
- godi-camomile: A comprehensive Unicode library
- godi-ocaml-mysql: MySQL client bindings
- godi-xml-light: minimal XML parser & pretty printer

Many thanks to Alain Frisch, Benjamin Geer, Owen Gunden, and Yamagata
Yoriyuki, who created the packages.

How to install GODI for the first time: Download the new bootstrap
tarball: 

http://www.ocaml-programming.de/packages/godi-bootstrap-20040514.tar.gz

Please read these web pages and follow the instructions:
- http://www.ocaml-programming.de/godi
- http://www.ocaml-programming.de/packages/documentation/godi/README.html

The latter is also included in the tarball.

How to upgrade: Just start godi_console, update the build instructions,
and then select the packages to upgrade from the list. Include at least
godi-core-mk, godi-core-pkgtools, and godi-tools, or press 'u' to select
all for which an upgrade is available. Then continue as usual. The rest
is done automatically. (This is why you need GODI.)
