Re: [Xen-API] Compiling xen-api on Debian Wheezy AMD64

I am hitting an error while building xen-api-libs now. It cannot find type-conv:

ocamlfind ocamlc -I ../xml-light2 -I ../stdext -I ../uuid -package 
camlp4,type-conv -ppopt -I -ppopt /usr/lib/ocaml/type-conv  -ppopt -I -ppopt 
../rpc-light -ppopt pa_rpc.cma -syntax camlp4o -I ../rpc-light -I ../jsonrpc -I 
../rpc-light  -I ../jsonrpc -I ../rpc-light -c -o fe.cmo fe.ml
ocamlfind: Package `type-conv' not found
make[1]: *** [fe.cmo] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/shared/home/sjodh/src/netscaler/xen-api-libs/stdext'
make: *** [all] Error 2

OPAM 1.0 has been released and will be in binary packages as soon as Debian and 
other packaging vendors catch up in their release cycles:
https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam/issues/149

Therefore it is safe to remove the xen-org/opam snapshot now.

To upgrade OPAM, you just need to compile OPAM-1.0 and replace the OPAM binary, 
and run 'opam update' to refresh your package list.  It may be easier to just 
delete ~/.opam and recompile packages.  There is no state for OPAM held outside 
of ~/.opam.
