I would wait until tomorrow at least, since hppa was built post-dinstall run
yesterday, and not be installed on the archive. Notice that the slowest arches
where mips and hppa, all others completed in the first 5 hours following the
upload or so. m68k followed the i386 build by less than 4 hours.

I don't know though if it is enough to have the packages in the archive, or if
they have also to be manually installed or something for some arches, but i
don't think so.

So i guess we can build the next round starting today evening after dinstall
(usually around 20-21 hour european time), I would refrain from uploading huge
packages at first, to make sure they don't stall the autobuilders while the
smaller ones are getting through it, altough i guess this means coq only, not
sure.

As for me, i will upload today :

  camlzip, lablgl, spamoracle, ledit, mlgtk.

I guess that the first level, only ocaml really needs to be uploaded, since it
shows : 

  upload: tuareg-mode
  upload: ocaml-doc
  upload: ocaml
  upload: hevea-doc
  upload: coq-doc

I ask you to check individual packages during the adaptation for problems
though.

Also, there are some packages smimou's script did miss, and i will go through
the uploaded Sources and Packages file soon to extract them in a couple of
day, but please post them here if you meet any such packages.

But indeed, it will probably be built in a week or two if we do it right.

I think most of them have a primary maintainer who will do the uploads.

Yep, that would probably be best.
