Bug#568556: llvm-dev: missing ocaml bindings

[Ivan Jager]

Package: llvm-dev
Version: 2.6-4
Severity: normal

Would it be possible to package the ocaml bindings as a separate package?
Probably something like llvm-ocaml-dev or libllvm-ocaml-dev. I guess to be
consistent with other ocaml packages there should be a -ocaml and a
-ocaml-dev package...

I wasn't sure whether to file this as wishlist or normal, since in a sense
it is a feature request, but in a sense it is a feature that works upstream
and is broken in the debian package...

I'm working on an open source project, mostly written in ocaml, that could
probably benefit from an llvm backend. http://bap.ece.cmu.edu/  No hurry
yet, since we don't have an llvm backend written yet.

Thanks,
Ivan
