Hi, not all platforms MLDonkey is working on provide a syslog-ocaml package. I do not have experience including 3rd-party cmx/cmxa files while linking MLDonkey core so I appreciate patches.
But syslog.ml is not really a big file so including it in MLDonkey is easier than coding the optional compile of it or its linking. I know this contradicts Debian (and other distros) package management philosophy, but in this case I do not care that much for a file sized 7500 byte;-) There are already other 3rd-party libs present in MLDonkey sourcecode, like camlzip (incl. bzip2), ocamlrss, xml-light, CryptoPP which would require the same treatment. If its really important to use existing Debian packages this should be done in a broader way which works on many distros, including the packages mentioned above. This topic is very low on my personal to-do list. Including 3rd-party libs reduces the management efforts to provide compiling/working sourcecode because its proven code, which in the case of ocamlrss, CryptoPP and camlzip also includes special modifications for use in MLDonkey. BTW: I posted a bug report for libsyslog-ocaml-dev because a new upstream version is available. Greetings, spiralvoice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
