are there any plans to package MLGMP, an extended precision computation library in OCaml (http://caml.inria.fr/cgi-bin/hump.en.cgi?contrib=278)?
I am writing a spec file for the Parma Polyhedra Library, and its OCaml interface requires MLGMP.
No one's asked for it up to now, but if you wish to package it, please go ahead!
If you're not used to packaging OCaml libraries for Fedora / RHEL before then you'll find it helpful to look at one of the existing ones. Here are some simple ones:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/ocaml-augeas/ocaml-augeas.spec?rev... http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/ocaml-csv/ocaml-csv.spec?revision=... http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/ocaml-facile/ocaml-facile.spec?rev... http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/ocaml-ssl/ocaml-ssl.spec?revision=...
You can join as a package maintainer if you want (see [1]), but if you don't want to do that, then create a new bug for your package once done in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ and assign it to me.
If you have any other troubles making the RPM, just ask.
Rich.
