Package: mlton
Version: 20030716-1
Severity: important
Hi,
when a package Build-Depends on itself, it can't really "build from
source".
This is possibly a serious bug, but I'm aware that Policy doesn't
explicitly forbid Build-Depending on itself.
In the docs there is mentioned that one could build MLton with SML/NJ,
but the Debian package smlnj seems to have the same problem. Maybe the
solution of the similar problem with SML/NJ can solve this bug too.
Thanks for considering.
bye,
Roland
