I have identified a few OCaml packages which have all of the following properties: - no active upstream, - a high maintenance burden, - aren't used or useful. I'm intending to orphan these, and recommend that they be removed in the Fedora 29 time-frame. Of course if you disagree (and even better, if you want to take over maintenance of them) then please follow up. - - - * ocaml-xmlrpc-light [NB: not to be confused with ocaml-xml-light] Summary: OCaml library for writing XML-RPC clients and servers Upstream: http://code.google.com/p/xmlrpc-light/ [dead] Last release: 2009 Apart from the dead upstream, it doesn't support threads, which makes using it as an RPC library rather useless. There are a bunch of RPC libraries out there although nothing with the same API. * ocaml-openin Summary: OCaml syntax to locally open modules Upstream: http://alain.frisch.fr/soft#openin Last release: 2007 Equivalent syntax is now included in the core OCaml compiler. * ocaml-p3l Summary: OCaml compiler for parallel programs Upstream: http://ocamlp3l.inria.fr/ Last release: prior to 2008 Replaced by another project which is itself dead. In any case this was an interesting experiment in using skeletons for parallel programs, but not relevant today. * ocaml-pa-monad Summary: OCaml syntax extension for monads Upstream: http://www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~carette/pa_monad/ Last release: 2008 Experimental language extension, not used. * ocaml-json-wheel & ocaml-json-static Summary: OCaml library for parsing JSON Upstream: https://mjambon.github.io/mjambon2016/json-wheel.html Last release: 2009 Replaced by ocaml-yojson * ocaml-tplib Summary: Tropical Polyhedra Library Upstream: https://gforge.inria.fr/projects/tplib Last release: 2013 No longer compiles because of changes in the dependent GMP library. * ocaml-bisect Summary: OCaml code coverage tool Upstream: http://bisect.x9c.fr/ Last release: 2013 Code coverage can be done more easily using generic DWARF-parsing tools like kcov. There is no need for an OCaml-specific tool any longer. * ocaml-preludeml Summary: OCaml utility functions Upstream: http://github.com/kig/preludeml/tree/master Last release: 2010 There are better utility libraries out there nowadays.
