Ok, thanks. Then I will integrate ocaml.mk in the next release of the OCaml package. I will close this bug report as soon as I've done it. > > Issue 2: modular generation of debian/control > I'm not a fan of the debian/control generation, and I would rather try > to get rid of it than expand it. But that's just my personal opinion. Me neither. And indeed we have got rid of the need of it in almost all OCaml related packages. Still a few peculiar cases remain. In this respect the OCaml architecture issue is rather peculiar since we don't have the "this does not work there", but rather "this can be build in native code only there, elsewhere it should be build in bytecode". So we have debian/controls where on some arch a set of packages is built and on some other a different one is. But that's a long story, have look at the OCaml packaging policy if you're interested :-) Regarding the technicalities of modular generation of debian/control I found a work around which is rather reliable IMO. I just sed -i the content of debian/control after it has been created from debian/control.in. I discovered than in CDBS is just easy to plug such a rule due to the wide spread use of :: rules. Many thanks for your help, keep on the good work on CDBS. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- Computer Science PhD student @ Uny Bologna, Italy [EMAIL PROTECTED],debian.org,bononia.it} -%- http://www.bononia.it/zack/ If there's any real truth it's that the entire multidimensional infinity of the Universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs. -!- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
