Ubuntu rebuilding of Debian Ocaml docs gets me all the nice Documentation .. using the Debian packages directly does not. Another problem is that the package dependencies can mess up. And: Debian does not support AMD64. Ubuntu does. I actually think GODI is better than all, since it doesn't have any concept of a 'distribution': source building is the way to go with Ocaml, since Ocaml, unlike C, is reliable and fast to build. --=20 John Skaller --=-dSGFagHqwCFnf+AAkvQV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDD64nsRp8/9aGVGsRAvFrAKCXQ3HUDosMkB6rxxBRh48dFvydJQCgjHTo 3eo1LSGzMQfOKcrfMmWndBA= =x14g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-dSGFagHqwCFnf+AAkvQV--
