Some store them even in the SCM. > Would you like to improve the involved build scripts any more? > https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/issues/42 What improvements do you have in mind? > > and also a new pkg named ocaml-parmap to replace the built-in copy. > > How much do you care for software bundling? If certain software has dependencies its not the task of that software to provide them. So, drop the bundled stuff. Olaf
