The best way to get in touch with our work is to have a look at our [[http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-ocaml-maint/|SubVersioN repository]]. The repository is organized as follows: Most of our packages are maintained using Git, more specifically with git-buildpackage and pristine-tar. Our repositories are available on Alioth (pkg-ocaml-maint group). You can [[http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/|browse online]] our repositories, or check one out using the dom-git-checkout script (from the dh-ocaml package).

Packages were previously in a [[http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-ocaml-maint/|SubVersioN repository]]. This repository is organized as follows:

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:

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.

Version Control System

Most of our packages are maintained using Git, more specifically with git-buildpackage and pristine-tar. Our repositories are available on Alioth (pkg-ocaml-maint group). You can browse online our repositories, or check one out using the dom-git-checkout script (from the dh-ocaml package).

Packages were previously in a SubVersioN repository. This repository is organized as follows:

  • packages: debian patches and tarballs for collaboratively maintained packages

  • projects: development projects related to OCaml hosted by the Task Force

  • tags: subversion tags

  • tools: packaging related tools we developed in order to ease our work
