Package: ocaml-nox Version: 4.05.0-10 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I just took the scilab package out of orphanage, and I'm having a problem : it has some caml code, but wants to compile it with ocamlopt, which is not available on all architectures. If you look at: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=scilab&suite=experimental you'll see that the previous maintainer set a list of ok-arches and for some reason, armel went from ok to not-ok. That means the same depend on the ocaml-nox package works for some arches, not on others. It can also start to fail on some (and I'll know) or start to work on others (and I won't know). Would it be possible to make ocaml-nox provide or not provide a virtual ocamlopt package depending on the arch? That way, I would make scilab depend on ocamlopt and things would go smoothly as you update the ocaml-nox package. Thanks, Snark on irc.debian.org
