Perhaps not so overkill for developers, if you've just patched a project, you need to update the package quickly and perhaps not want to have a release/tarball for each of them. I think that the upstream source can be either a tarball URL or a VCS URL. For upstream sources one can supports some VCSs (CVS, SVN, darcs, git, hg) since one only need to checkout. > > I know there is Omake, > > Having used ocamlbuild for caml projects, for me it is out of question > to return to something make-like. Of course, I agree also on this :) -- Nicolas Pouillard aka Ertai --=-1201630675-709116-27517-6162-7-= Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) iD8DBQFHn23Tj+FCNw9dwLkRArgJAJ9uv3YWw/WsPuPq4GxoSD8lYvcGiACeNtD0 LD4XlasgW8QBwcD14loYOXg= =KdAc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-1201630675-709116-27517-6162-7-=--
