Thanks Xyne, that helps, I am going to try and figure out the best way to change the ocaml packaging process without just breaking all of the OCaml packages, i will have the guidelines up shortly and star t moving towards clean ArchLinux Ocaml.

There seems to be only 6 OCaml packages in the repos: lablgtk lablgtk2 ocaml camlp5 camlp5-transitional llvm-ocaml Check if they follow the guidelines that you propose and contact the maintainers of any that don't. If you explain the situation and provide a patch then you'll probably get a quick and positive response. Before you do, consider whether the names need to be changed. Most library packages follow the convention of including the language name as a prefix, e.g. "perl-foo" or "haskell-bar". What's the state of the ocaml packages? lablgtk should probably be ocaml-lablgtk, etc. Consider how few packages there are in the repos, I doubt there would be much opposition to fixing clearly broken names.
