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 [http://pkg-ocaml-maint.alioth.debian.org/ocaml_packaging_policy.html/index.html 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 [http://packages.debian.org/sid/ocaml-base-nox ocaml-base-nox] package [file:///usr/share/doc/ocaml-base-nox/ocaml_packaging_policy.html/index.html on your filesystem].

Version Control System
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:
[http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-ocaml-maint/trunk/packages/?rev=0&sc=0 packages]: debian patches and tarballs for collaboratively maintained packages
[http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-ocaml-maint/trunk/projects/?rev=0&sc=0 projects]: development projects related to OCaml hosted by the Task Force
[http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-ocaml-maint/tags/?rev=0&sc=0 tags]: subversion tags
[http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-ocaml-maint/trunk/tools/?rev=0&sc=0 tools]: packaging related tools we developed in order to ease our work
