Task description
The Debian OCaml Maintainers Task Force is up to package OCaml-related programs and libraries in Debian, to make as easy as possible the usage of such pieces of software.
Our usual activities include both routine packaging and maintenance of OCaml-related software and formalization in our policy of best practice for the OCaml packaging in Debian.

Resources
OCaml-related packages in Debian distribution are quite a lot, here you can find some resources to monitor them:
status of the various OCaml versions in Debian
(a per-OCaml version listing; answers questions like «is OCaml X.Y.Z available in Debian?»)SVN Build Statistics (powered by svnbuildstat)
source package list ; formats: `.html`, `.txt`
build dependency graph ; formats: `.dot`, `.ps`, `.png`
build order (.txt only)
- transitions
OCaml packages on Ubuntu
Comparison between Debian and Ubuntu regarding status of the OCaml packages
Transition of OCaml packages to latest OCaml compiler (official Ubuntu)
Transition of OCaml packages to latest OCaml compiler (other ports)
Status page of new packages in Ubuntu Maverick (to monitor transition from Debian to Ubuntu)
Policy
We wrote a policy establishing best practices for packaging OCaml-related software in Debian. It is available both in HTML and plain text formats. It can also be found in the `ocaml-base-nox` package on your filesystem.
