Hi,
Maybe it is time for ocaml-xzy.scm. :-)
Currently, the file gnu/packages/ocaml.scm contains 315 define-public.
Maybe, it would make sense to have:
+ ocaml.scm for compiler and essentials (as ocaml-findlib or dune)
+ ocaml-xyz.scm for ocaml-<foo> packages
+ ocaml-apps.scm for standalone program written in OCaml as unison,
ocamlmod, etc
+ ocaml-legacy.scm for the old ocaml4.0x things
WDYT?
Well, with the question of the new ocaml5 thing. :-)
Trying to package some OCaml, I note that the OCaml package named
camlzip is not prefixed with ’ocaml-’ although it can only be used as a
library, IIUC.

Moreover, “guix import opam -r camlzip” returns,
(define-public ocaml-camlzip
(package
(name "ocaml-camlzip")
Well, therefore I would be expecting ocaml-camlzip to be consistent with
the Guix naming convention. And with this large gnu/packages/ocaml.scm
file containing all the OCaml related stuff, I am guessing that it’s
time to reorganize a bit. WDYT?
