[...] I've successfully recompiled almost all Debian packages with this new version. There are still a few packages that don't compile [3], either because they are broken or have broken dependencies. A list of bugs related to this new version is available at [1]. The titles of the bugreports should give an overview of practical sources of incompatibilities (these are not Debian-specific). Some of them are already fixed (either in upstream repository, or with a home-made patch).= I've made a (unofficial) repository binary packages for the amd64 architecture, available at [2]. All sources and build logs are available as well. It might progressively get populated by binary packages for armel and mipsel. The binary packages should work with current Debian unstable, and people using testing or unstable can easily test them. However, please note that OCaml 3.12.0 will most likely not be updated (and supported) in the official repositories before the next release of Debian (Squeeze).

[...] Here are some other worthwhile features: - Native-code compiler for ARM EABI -> armel becomes a native architecture in Debian. Native Dynlink doesn't work, but otherwise all packages were compiling natively during my earlier experiments with the SVN version. - Some support for Findlib in ocamlbuild. I don't know their official status, though... Enjoy, --=20 St=C3=A9phane
