  Description     : parse and generate YAML 1.1/1.2 files in OCaml

 This is an OCaml library to parse and generate the YAML file
 format. It is intended to be interoperable with the Ezjsonm JSON
 handling library, if the simple common subset of Yaml is
 used. Anchors and other advanced Yaml features are not implemented in
 the JSON compatibility layer.

This package will be maintained in the OCaml Team.

I've done the packaging; it is available at [1]. However, I won't upload
it now to Debian, since upstream includes a modified copy of libyaml
[2], which is not reasonable IMHO (updates, security...). In particular,
the changes introduced in ocaml-yaml look simple and uncontroversial, so
I am trying to upstream these changes to libyaml [3] so that ocaml-yaml
can be built without this embedded copy.
