Hello,

The software package format that is supported by the tool "OCaml Package Manager
1.1" refers also to a specific build command. Will it be needed to distinguish
the dependencies for this command from the other build requirements for a software?

Other popular package formats use the following fields to express such information.
- Build-Depends
  http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-sourcebinarydeps

- BuildRequires
  http://rpm5.org/docs/api/dependencies.html


Regards,
Markus
