What are the > advantages of the standard distro over the GODI distro ? 1. The standard distro is 'authoritative'. 2. The standard distro is a simple tarball, you don't need to be online 3. The standard distro is built by a team working with some support from a National Government: INRIA has a charter, lawyers, funding, etc etc. 4. CVS access to INRIA's Ocaml is available for bleeding edge developers. No intent to be critical, just trying to answer the question. GODI seems quite complex, I don't feel confident at the moment not only relying on it myself .. but also expecting my clients to do so. That may change as it matures, however it does seem bit Unix centric. -- John Skaller, mailto:skaller@users.sf.net voice: 061-2-9660-0850, snail: PO BOX 401 Glebe NSW 2037 Australia Checkout the Felix programming language http://felix.sf.net ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
