Since the OCaml 4.12.0 release is near, I thought I would report on a few changes from my previous message.

To avoid breaking Fedora packages, this is what > needs to be done, in approximate package build order: Due to some upstream activity, this is what the list looks like now. - ocaml-base: 0.14.0 -> 0.14.1 - ocaml-migrate-parsetree: 1.8.0 -> 2.1.0 - ocaml-ppxlib: 0.15.0 -> 0.22.0 - ocaml-bisect-ppx: 2.5.0 -> 2.6.0 - ocaml-tyxml: apply this pull request to switch to ppxlib: https://github.com/ocsigen/tyxml/pull/271 - ocaml-lwt: 5.3.0 -> 5.4.0 - ocaml-ppx-deriving: 5.1 -> 5.2.1 - ocaml-ppx-optcomp: 0.14.0 -> 0.14.1 - ocaml-ppx-sexp-conv: 0.14.1 -> 0.14.2 - ocaml-sedlex: 2.2 -> 2.3 - ocaml-ppx-custom-printf: 0.14.0 -> 0.14.1 - ocaml-ppx-fields-conv: 0.14.1 -> 0.14.2 - Retire ocaml-ppx-tools-versioned I have done some test builds to flush out problems. The ocaml-tyxml pull request cannot be applied as is. First, it doesn't apply cleanly due to commits made after the 4.4.0 release. Second, it doesn't work due to changes made to ppxlib after the pull request was made. I've modified the pull request into a patch that fixes both issues. I am concerned that that pull request has not been updated since last July. The ocaml-lwt 5.4.0 release adds a dependency on the "luv" library, which we do not have in Fedora. Getting it means adding a handful of new ocaml packages, namely: - bigarray-compat: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1927441 - integers: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1927442 - ctypes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1927443 - luv: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1927444 Also, since ocaml-ppxlib is becoming a dependency of ocaml-txyml, ocaml-ppxlib and all of its dependencies will become transitive dependencies of ocaml-odoc, which means we cannot build documentation for those packages with odoc without introducing circularities. I'll add "%bcond_with doc" or something similar to handle this, unless someone has a better idea. Richard, what's the best way to handle all of this? I can open pull requests on all of the above packages, so you only have to merge them before starting the ocaml 4.12 builds. Or, since I am the primary maintainer for most of them, I can simply push to git when you say you are ready to start. Let me know what works best for you. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
