<Ganneff> someone please look at #377499 and tell me if thats the way to
go (see the changelog at the bottom)
<jcristau> that's one way to do it
<jcristau> another one would be to build freetennis as arch:any and
detect at build time whether ocamlopt or ocamlc should be used
<Ganneff> so from "ocaml-view" that way is ok with the extra package stuff?
<jcristau> I'd say yes
<Ganneff> hrm. i prefer the detect way.
<Ganneff> as you need to know the arch where it works anyways.
<Ganneff> and it doesnt use another package.
<jcristau> I tend to agree
<jcristau> but IIRC there were people who preferred the foo-byte way
<Ganneff> well. any good reason?
<jcristau> mostly that the arch-independent bytecode (built with
ocamlc)is not duplicated
<jcristau> on the mirrors, I mean
<Ganneff> in this case thats big enough to be in a seperate package anyways
<jcristau> the idea is that foo-byte is built only once, and arch:all,
while the native code version is built where ocamlopt exists, that's not
really related to having a foo-common package or not
<smimou> here I would go for one package
<smimou> freetennis is not so long to build or so big
<jcristau> smimou: you mean 'detect at build-time whether ocamlopt is
available'?
<smimou> yes
<Ganneff> jcristau: the -common can be split here anyways, its large
enough. i only question the -byte one, as i dont see a good reason for
it, if all you need to do is to use another compiler.
<jcristau> Ganneff: I agree
<Ganneff> thx
