(To GODI and Debian maintainers: > would you be willing to contribute to it?) I don't see the point in setting up just another *forge, plenty of them have been already mentioned in this thread. I thus think that the interesting part of this project is the ocaml specific part and IMO that part can't be only "let's collect all ocaml related projects/library on a single server". From your post I still don't see which ocaml specific features are you going to develop as a part of the infrastructure you're proposing. Still, as a debian developer, I think that a crucial one will be a common dependency handling between programs and libraries shared by all the underlaying package management system (RPM, DEB, GODI, ...). I'm not yet familiar with GODI, but I've in mind to look at it to see if debian packages could be genered from GODI description or the other way round. It would be great if, as a part of your infrastructure, we can manage to develop some package description format (maybe those of GODIVA? don't know), from which all different "spec" files could be generated. This is a part of the project in which I, and probably the other ocaml involved debian developer are interested to partecipate in.
