I've successfully recompiled (almost) all (relevant) Debian packages with this new version. The only package that needs more work is jocaml, and I've been told that mingw32-ocaml has been ported but remains unteste= d. 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). Feel free to steal/ask patches from me :-) I've made a (unofficial) repository of binary packages for the amd64 architecture, available at [2]. All sources and build logs are available as well, so you can pick patches or just recompile them if you are on another Debian-based system. It might progressively get populated by binary packages for other architectures. 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).
