It's not clear how to manage binaries. What Python does is have 'python1.5' and 'python2.1' both in /usr/local/bin, and then use a symbolic link. Client can also put symlinks in ~/bin. Not clear to me how to ensure all binaries are switched around when changing versions. Same applies to man pages. At present, I just reinstall the version I want to use..which takes considerable time. Luckily, I only use optimising compiler, so once a binary is built, it matter not which development system is active .. but this won't be so once shared libraries are used .. Anyhow, just a though.. version control is a non-trivial thing. -- John Max Skaller, mailto:skaller@ozemail.com.au snail:10/1 Toxteth Rd, Glebe, NSW 2037, Australia. voice:61-2-9660-0850 ------------------- 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
