Further links: - http://ocaml-programming.de/programming/godi.html - https://gps.dynxs.de/ Besides that this version installs 3.07beta2 by default, there are a number of major changes: - The bootstrap process has now a second stage. After the first stage, the fundamental packaging tools are installed (all written in C). The second stage automatically installs a minimum O'Caml environment - After the second stage has finished, there is a new management tool on the system: godi_console (see below). - I have worked through all of the *.mk files, and deleted everything that is not needed, either because it is not applicable to an O'Caml installation, or because godi_console does it already much better. I hope this improves the maintainability. - The version number ordering has been improved, now 3.07beta2 < 3.07. The installable packages themselves have not changed very much, although many bugs could be fixed (thanks to everybody who sent me feedback). godi_console is the user interface of GODI. It is possible to select packages from a list, or to deselect packages. godi_console resolves dependencies, and gives interactive feedback. Last but not least it is also a monitor for the build process. For a number of reasons, godi_console has a curses-based user interface, but the package handling functions are collected in a library, so another type of interface could be created with not too much effort. godi_console currently cannot handle binary packages, and some functions are a bit slow, but after intensive testing I am convinced that it has good quality. BTW, pxp does not work currently. This seems to be an incompatibility between wlex and the lastest changes in the O'Caml lexer.
