I have set-up a set of scripts that give the status of OCaml packages on Ubuntu. As there is no OCaml packagers on Ubuntu, nearly all OCaml packages of Ubuntu are directly imported from Debian during the synchronization periods between Debian sid and Ubuntu. Those pages are made to help the job of Debian developers. They are doing a wonderful jobs regarding packaging of OCaml software on Debian and they are interested in helping the OCaml support on Ubuntu.
So, on those very basic pages, you'll find:
- Version of OCaml all packages on Ubuntu and Debian, for Etch, Lenny, Sid, Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty, etc.;
- OCaml packages patched in Ubuntu;
- Comparison between Debian Lenny and Ubuntu Jaunty.
In all the above files, the format is:
debian-source-package distro-release ocaml-compiler package-version
Those lists of packages are made with quickly hacked scripts from Debian's OCaml developers:
- The shell script downloading package description files for all the distros: retrieve-data.sh;
- The Python script computing all dependencies, sorting packages, and producing those lists: raw-ubuntu-ocaml-status.py;
- The Makefile;
- The shell script calling all that: compute.
