That's great, and thanks for your help! However, it was not only what I meant. Surely we, Debian-side, have a lot of work to be done and help is always needed. Still, we need someone Ubuntu-side which coordinate with us for their releases. We are doing an excellent job in sharing patches with Fedora (thanks mainly to Richard of course), it's kind of astonishing that we cannot coordinate with Ubuntu. The main reason is of course that there is currently no "Ubuntu OCaml Maintainers" group or something similar, would you like to start organizing one? > > If you, or anybody else, is an Ubuntu user willing to help in OCaml > > package maintenance let me know, there is for sure a task for you :-) > Sure. Whats up? You can start looking up all the bug reports against packages maintained by debian-ocaml-maint@lists.debian.org, or other individual maintainers of OCaml-related packages. Moreover, we have several pieces of great OCaml softwares which are not packages while they should. We also have some infrastructure pieces missing, if you are following the mailing list I'm sure you are aware of some of them.
