Richard, This sounds really great. I've been building Fedora RPMs for the last few releases (the ones listed at http://rpm.nogin.org/ocaml.html and linked from http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/release.en.html ). However I myself no longer use Fedora (only Red Hat EL at work and CentOS at home). Because of that, I did not have energy to push for a better integration of OCaml into Fedora, for working with Fedora Extras, etc. > If you would like to join, please edit this page: > > http://fedoraocaml.team-notepad.com/ This page currently states "This project is not affiliated with Red Hat and does not provide support for RHEL." As I said, RHEL and CentOS is what I and a number of my colleagues currently use and I would like to keep providing "unofficial" RHEL/CentOS binaries for them. If the project would have its primary focus on Fedora, but would still provide RHEL-compatible .src.rpm and distribute RHEL-compatible binaries (and there is no need to be affiliated with Red Hat for that), I would be much more inclined to join.
