Subject: Packaging OCaml for Linux
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 14:40:47 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041028204047.GB5402@swordfish> (raw)
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.
