Markus and I discussed the issue. I'll continue to maintain my library, but it is very stable (no bug reported in 3 years), so in practice, it only means that the package will remain available. However, it is considered deprecated: new users should better use Markus' revision. Existing users can continue with my version if they are happy with it, or switch to the new interface (the transition should be easy; OTOH it will mainly bring an aesthetic improvement). For distribution package maintainers, I think the best thing is to keep my library available and provide Markus' one under another name. -- Alain ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
