-The &f; library provides a scheme to manage reusable software -components (packages), and includes tools that support this -scheme. Packages are collections of OCaml modules for which -metainformation can be stored. The packages are kept in the filesystem -hierarchy, but with strict directory structure. The library contains -functions to look the directory up that stores a package, to query -metainformation about a package, and to retrieve dependency -information about multiple packages. There is also a tool that allows -the user to enter queries on the command-line. In order to simplify -compilation and linkage, there are new frontends of the various OCaml -compilers that can directly deal with packages. -

- -

-Together with the packages metainformation is stored. This includes a -version string, the archives the package consists of, and additional -linker options. Packages can also be dependent on other -packages. There is a query which finds out all predecessors of a list -of packages and sorts them topologically. The new compiler frontends -do this implicitly. -

- -

-Metainformation can be conditional, i.e. depend on a set of -predicates. This is mainly used to be able to react on certain -properties of the environment, such as if the bytecode or the native -compiler is invoked, if the application is multi-threaded, and a few -more. If the new compiler frontends are used, most predicates are -found out automatically. -

- -

-There is special support for scripts. A new directive, "#require", -loads packages into scripts. Of course, this works only with newly -created toploops which include the &f; library. -
