I must confess, I put the words rather badly: I am curious about how to take advantage of OPAM for maintaining OCaml related ports. The ideal thing would be to have a `opam make-freebsd-port OPAMPACKAGE' subcommand that would prepare a nice Makefile, pkg-descr, pkg-plist traid, ready to plug in the ports hierarchy. There is other language specific package managers—maybe Ruby GEMS and Python EGGS, for instance—but I am not aware of how they interact with the port system. Regards, Michael
