- Updated list of Debian/Ubuntu packages so that it is complete and includes packages that were created since 2009. - Remove/replaced dead link to Jane Street ocaml packages. - Fixed tab/space whitespace inconsistency that led to strange output.
On my system, the software failed to build because the camlzip package could not be found, despite the fact that I had installed it. When I updated the list of packages to "zip" instead of "camlzip" in the two Makefiles, these errors were removed.
These changes fix a bug in which WikiTrust failed to build on my system. One errors included that dbsocket was missing from every place that a MySQL connection was opened. I was able to build the software by adding variable, set to None, to every place this was called. My understanding is that sockets are optional in new version of MySQL but can be used instead of the standard port based method. I have not yet tested this patch with a database and I am currently using WikiTrust to parse XML dumps without a MySQL database present.

I am in the process of trying to build and use WikiTrust because I am evaluating it for use in some of my own research. I have made several changes to the documentation and build scripts — and some small changes in the code — in order to get the software to build and run on my system. I have also updated the documentation to make it more complete and accurate.
I have only very minimal OCaml skills but I think these changes are either not to the .ml files or are simple enough that I think they should be fine. And the software builds and work now on my system.
Thanks for building WikiTrust and thank so much for giving it to the world!
