[Caml-list] Great Renaming

[Damien Doligez]

Dear OCaml users,

We have implemented the decision taken at this year's OCaml meeting: to
change the name of the language and system to "OCaml" in one word, with
capital O and capital C, and nothing between them.

That makes it much easier to find on search engines, so we suggest that
everyone uses this new name (most of you already do anyway).

With a non-negligible amount of work, I have changed the sources
(including the copyright headers!), the Web site, and the documentation.
As a side-effect, recompiling the documentation fixed PR#5317 at last.

Another side effect: caml.inria.fr points to active-dvi !

Do you plan to keep caml.inria.fr as well? or to add ocaml.inria.fr?

Unrelated, but thanks for reporting it.  It seems that INRIA's DNS is
broken and reports two different IP addresses for caml.inria.fr, the
correct one and the one of the server hosting advi.inria.fr...
I notified our network admins but we'll have to wait until Monday for
a fix.  Be patient...

We didn't discuss that.  For the moment, I'll wait until the
caml.inria.fr issue is resolved before asking our network admins
anything else :-)

=> I've tried all servers of inria.fr and all answered with a CNAME
to pauillac.inria.fr (i.e., caml is an alias of pauillac) which has
the address 128.93.11.35 (IPv4, no IPv6 address) and BTW is an
alias of advi.inria.fr too (i.e., advi has a CNAME pointing to
pauillac).
Note this is not necessary what you can get as DNS records can be
cached and according to what I can see in this case for up to 2 days.

   > Do you plan to keep caml.inria.fr as well? or to add ocaml.inria.fr?
   
=> the simplest should be to add ocaml as an alias of caml
(note if caml is itself an alias ocaml must point to the canonical name:
CNAME chains are forbidden by RFCs so can't be assumed to work well
everywhere).

Hello,

I hope your admin does not read caml-list or has a good sense of humour ;-)

According to http://www.squish.net/dnscheck, all seven nameservers
consistently return 128.93.11.35 (pauillac) for both caml.inria.fr
and advi.inria.fr. If there is a problem, I'd suspect the virtual
host handling on pauillac. Notice the absence of a Host request
header in the following transscript:

~$ nc pauillac.inria.fr 80
