   * ClintonEbadi says: to summarize, I just build it from source [[https://packages.debian.org/sid/mlton|using the sid packaging]] although there has finally been a new release so that's a bit out of date. It is kind of complicated to bootstrap though: have to use an existing binary package injected into the pbuilder to build mlton, then after that inject the new package to the pbuilder to build again to ensure a clean build. AFAICT the dropping from stable is because there's a circular build dependency that requires manual intervention to break. This isn't too bad, because until Debian 8 IIRC it wasn't even in Debian at all and we just built to /usr/local.
