Ok I understand now. So the port hierarchy is centralized and =20 versioned that's exactly what I don't like because it is not flexible =20= enough, you have to wait for things to update (e.g. like waiting for =20= the 3.10 branch in godi) because package description files support =20 only one version. I don't like the idea of one version per description file, it is not =20 flexible enough and having the port hierarchy under vcs doesn't help =20 to select a particular version of a port. The way I see it is - a package is a list of versions - a version is a list of files that build themselves with ocamlbuild =20 and a specification of dependencies. Now the tool I seek allows me to specify package dependencies in =20 ocamlbuild and take care of their install. > That's not a baroque case, I mean if you are responsible of =20= > libFoo and > progBar, you perhaps want to quickly package progBar using the =20 > last version > of libFoo. If you don't have a centralized port hierarchy, you don't get these =20 problems because you manage your own package description file. In that =20= case just add a new version to your package description file and =20 publish it. Decentralize the system let anyone publish their own =20 package descriptions on their website, use the web.
