Updating and publishing the Debian OCaml Packaging Policy
---------------------------------------------------------
To update the policy, simply run:
make -C policy upload
It will generate both html and txt versions and upload them to:
http://pkg-ocaml-maint.alioth.debian.org/

dh-ocaml: support for building OCaml-related Debian packages
------------------------------------------------------------
The stuff contained in this package used to be spread among various
binary packages generated by the "ocaml" source package. In particular:
- the policy used to be shipped by ocaml-base-nox
- ocaml-md5sums used to be shipped by ocaml-base-nox
- dh_ocaml used to be shipped by ocaml-nox
- the CDBS class ocaml.mk used to be shipped by ocaml-nox
If you need the CDBS class to build your OCaml-related packages you will
now need to Build-Depends on dh-ocaml.

ocaml-md5sums: the dependency hell
----------------------------------
ocaml-md5sums relationships with ocaml itself are kinda tricky.
ocaml-md5sums needs _at runtime_ on ocaml-nox as the latter ships
`ocamlobjinfo` (note that other parts of dh-ocaml does not require
ocaml-nox at all, that's way the relationship is just a Recommends).
ocaml needs _at build-time_ ocaml-md5sums to compute md5sums for the
standard library. That's way ocaml Build-Depends on dh-ocaml, though in
order to use ocaml-md5sums it overrides the default location of
`ocamlobjinfo` in order to use the one just built. This also means that
ocaml-md5sums can not be written in OCaml itself otherwise it would need
to depend on some ocaml binary package creating a circular build or
runtime dependency chain.
At the time of writing, ocaml-md5sums is TEMPORARILY DISABLED, as it
needs to be reimplemented in something else than OCaml.
