Mmm, i don't think so, altough i know the darwin project use a variation of dpkg and apt-get for their package management. You are free to port it though, if you want, it is open source anyway. Also notice, that appart from the nice apt-get tool, much work has been done to package the new ocaml 3.04 and to solve the problems related to shared libs on debian systems. We even use a small tool ocaml-ldconf (quickly hacked by me, so it is not optimal, but does its work) which uses 3 databases to store the ld.conf files, one is the normal ld.conf from ocaml, and the other two being the dpkg handled /var/lib/ocaml/ld.conf, and a system administrator override in /etc/ocaml/ld.conf. I would gladly contribute it if it seems usefull and people want it, but i am not sure what help it would be without the integration permitted by apt-get, dpkg and the debian packaging system (and the work of the debian/ocaml maintainer team :))) Friendly, Sven Luther ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
