OCaml for Debian
----------------
1) The OCaml package has been split into different binary packages:
o ocaml: contains the full OCaml suite
o ocaml-nox: the full suite except for the Graphics and Tk modules
o ocaml-base: contains the runtime stuff (ocamlrun + dlls + Tk)
o ocaml-base-nox: contains the runtime stuff (ocamlrun + dlls - Tk)
o ocaml-compiler-libs: contains several modules used internally by
the OCaml compilers. They are not needed for normal OCaml
development, but may be helpful in the development of certain
applications.
o ocaml-source: contains the full OCaml source for the (few) packages which
need them at build time or for personal use (it should _not_ be used to
build OCaml itself).
o ocaml-mode: contains a major mode for editing OCaml files in Emacs.
2) The caml include files are found under /usr/lib/ocaml/<ocaml_version>/caml.
A symlink is provided from /usr/include/caml for convenience. If
/usr/include/caml was previously a directory, for whatever reason, a warning
will be issued and the file moved to /usr/include/caml.bad. This can be
safely erased later on.
3) User-installed stuff should not go under /usr/lib/ocaml/<ocaml_version>,
but rather under /usr/local/lib/ocaml/<ocaml_version>.
We will take no responsibility for people who break this rule and mess things
up.
4) Starting from OCaml 3.05, all dll.so files are now put into a common
stublibs directory, so the ocaml-ldconf tool for handling the ld.conf
file is not needed anymore, but we will still keep it around until all
libraries are ported. As of OCaml 3.08, ocaml-ldconf is now deprecated
and not available anymore.
Notice that user-installed dll.so files should go into
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/<ocaml_version>/stublibs which is searched before
/usr/lib/ocaml/<ocaml_version>/stublibs.

ocamldoc's LaTeX output
-----------------------
ocamldoc can generated documentation in LaTeX format which can be later on
compiled using a LaTeX environment. The LaTeX sources generated by ocamldoc
exploits the fullpage.sty style, which is not included in a default texlive
installation (the Debian LaTeX environment of choice).
In order to be able to compile ocamldoc generated LaTeX sources you will need
to install the "texlive-latex-extra" package.

Debug information produced by ocamlc
====================================
In upstream OCaml, “ocamlc -custom” produces executables that cannot
be stripped (more precisely, the bytecode, which is not part of the
ELF data, is removed by strip). This Debian version is patched (and
the patch has been rejected by upstream [1], but is available
separately in debian/patches) so that the bytecode is embedded in the
executable and can be stripped. This new behaviour is optional, and
can be enabled by setting the OCAML_CUSTOM_EMBED environment variable
to “y”.
