I'm curious about the status of OCaml packages in FreeBSD, I see that some libraries were imported to compile certain projects, but some of these ports have been removed since then (e.g. lang/opa astro/planets). Now, upgrading the OCaml compiler nearly always leads to an exp-run which is costly and work-intensive to fix. Would you be interested in a cleanup run = of the FreeBSD ports that remove all the dangling libraries? From my perspecti= ve, useful OCaml ports are those which install actual binaries (coq, opam, mldonkey, ..). Most users (and sysops) are interested in some OCaml binaries, most OCaml developers will need a recent OCaml compiler anyways, and then use opam (devel/ocaml-opam) to install dependent libraries. What do you think? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
