Hello, Currently Karmic ships with OCaml compiler and libraries for OCaml version 3.11.0. Debian has nearly finished its transition to OCaml 3.11.1, only camlpdf is missing[1].
Should we do the same transition to OCaml 3.11.1 for Karmic? The transition takes 6 rounds[2], there are 124 source packages to synchronize / recompile and the transition has taken about 4 weeks in Debian (24th of June until today). During this summer, I could handle / monitor such a transition during following time periods: * July, 21st -> 31st; * August, 10th -> 21st. It would be very nice to ship latest OCaml but I don't know if it still fits Karmic Release Schedule. If such a transition is agreed upon, as suggested by James Westby[3], I would need the help of an Ubuntu Developer to fulfil Sync requests and potentially an Ubuntu Archive maintainer if such a transition is too late[4]. Any volunteer?
