2007-08-28 Packages failing because of missing camlp4o

Quite some packages fail because camlp4 has been moved from ocaml-nox's Build-Depends to Recommends. The Ocaml team has tightened their Build-Depends and wants the Packages B-D on caml4p directly:

09:35 <abi> as of the recent rebuild sid/x86 about ~10 packages FTBFS because of missing camlp4o, do the packages have to Build-Depend on camlp4 or would it make more sense to move it from the Recommends to Depends in ocaml-nox

09:35 <abi> i just wonder if i should file the bug for the packages or ocaml-nox 09:36 <smimou> well I think that we should tighten our build-deps instead

09:37 <smimou> we have already started doing this

09:37 <abi> ok, so im going to file the bugs against the packages rather than ocaml-nox?

09:37 <smimou> yes, please

09:38 <smimou> camlp4 is quite a big package so I'd rather avoid ocaml depending on it
