I think I successfully compiled ocaml-3.11.2 on my i686-pc-linux-gnu, but there seems to be no way to install the package in a temporary location via the Linux de facto standard DESTDIR environment variable; is there a way to do it? (I am used to build custom packages.) The web site[1] is beautiful (no irony) but a lot of informations look outdated, 4/5 years old; I see many O'Caml related sites on the Net. Is there one that I can take as reference for the latest news, for example about still maintained library packages? TIA [1] -- Marco Maggi
