Previously: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/FQUQZKYTZN6V2E6X2OETIGXHZDBMG6EO/ camlp4 is (was) a grammar extension/macro package for OCaml. It was replaced upstream by PPX extensions a while back, but quite a few packages still used camlp4. Since we updated OCaml to 4.08 there has been no work on upgrading camlp4 to work with the new version. I asked about it upstream but didn't get a positive response: https://inbox.ocaml.org/caml-list/7a79b78d-fac2-7e8e-bb82-680c1838149d@xxxxxxxxxxx/T/#m7e16e560be45003a819d544600ced5645f56b6a0 The only packages I care about which use camlp4 is ocaml-gettext, and I recently ported that to use PPX instead: https://github.com/gildor478/ocaml-gettext/commit/739e3a900993299e7e8b90af3da565417eb84412 Other packages in Fedora 31 which depend on ocaml-camlp4 or ocaml-camlp4-devel will no longer build, and I will eventually either orphan them or (if upstream has replaced camlp4) update them. *** Affected packages *** cduce (Modern XML-oriented functional language) guestfs-browser (Guest filesystem browser) - This was basically a demo that I wrote years ago. ocaml-bin-prot (Read and write OCaml values in a type-safe binary protocol) - There is a new PPX version of this project, but it would need to be packaged by someone who is interested in it. ocaml-bisect (OCaml code coverage tool) - Since this was written a long time ago, OCaml now generates DWARF and profiling information in standard formats, so use ordinary tools instead. ocaml-bitstring (OCaml library for matching and constructing bitstrings) - There is a new project upstream which ports this to PPX but it would probably need to be added as a fresh package. ocaml-camlp4 (Pre-Processor-Pretty-Printer for OCaml) ocaml-deriving (Extension to OCaml for deriving functions from types) - There is a new project upstream which ports this to PPX. If you want this, please package the new project. ocaml-json-static (OCaml JSON validator and converter (syntax extension)) ocaml-json-wheel (OCaml library for parsing JSON) - These libraries are both obsolete. There are other newer projects for parsing and creating JSON strings from OCaml. ocaml-mikmatch (OCaml extension for pattern matching with regexps) - Also obsolete; there are newer libraries upstream. ocaml-lablgl (GL bindings) - Dead upstream since 2013. ocaml-openin (OCaml syntax to locally open modules) ocaml-pa-monad (OCaml syntax extension for monads) - Both obsolete syntax extensions, now part of the core language. ocaml-pgocaml (OCaml library for type-safe access to PostgreSQL databases) - There is a new PPX port of this package. Someone could package this if interested. ocaml-pxp (XML parser) - As far as I can tell this hasn't been ported to either PPX or camlp5. ocaml-sexplib (OCaml library for converting OCaml values to S-expressions) ocaml-type-conv (OCaml base library for type conversion) - Both versions we are packaging are obsolete. There are PPX versions upstream which someone can package. ocamldsort (Dependency sorter for OCaml source files) - Obsolete, use built-in tool ocamldep.
