Hi all,
As you may have seen from my recent commits and uploads, I've started
to prepare the change of OCaml stdlib dir from /usr/lib/ocaml to
/usr/lib/<multiarch>/ocaml/<abi>.
<multiarch> is the first step to make "Multi-Arch: same" packages
posssible in OCaml land... even though more work is needed to actually
make it practicable.
<abi> will ease transitions where files are moved between packages (e.g.
for 4.14.1->5.2.0, many findlib packages were moved from findlib to ocaml).
Moreover, I would like to avoid hardcoding /usr/lib/ocaml in Debian
packages, this will allow third-parties to compile them in
(non-official) contexts where `ocamlc -where` points elsewhere.
I have fixed (most of) the packages that hardcoded /usr/lib/ocaml to
make them use *.in files with @OCamlStdlibDir@-like substitution.
I think the archive is in good shape to actually make the change at the
next OCaml transition.
Cheers,
