I am currently traveling, with only my phone for accessing email, so please pardon top posting, HTML, etc. I also have the goal of bringing Infer to Fedora, so I am happy to make common cause with you.
Are you aware of my efforts to build an OCaml spec generator? See https://pagure.io/opam2rpm. It isn't finished, but it is useful for getting started.
I can be more helpful next week when I am home & have my beloved Fedora desktop in front of me. :-)

Hi all,
It's been a while since I work on an OCaml spec, so I'm asking the
ocaml-devel list (and because it seems inactive, cc:ing rjones and
jjames since they maintain a lot of OCaml packages.
I'm working through the missing dependencies to eventually package
Infer, Facebook's static analysis tool -- https://fbinfer.com/ -- which
is written in OCaml.
The first such dependency is atdgen, which is part of atd:
https://github.com/ahrefs/atd
Review request: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1947685
This is a single project that ends up generating several related OPAM
packages. The automatic requires/provides seem to identify the modules
it provides correctly, so... do I need to split the packaging to
individual modules, or is it fine to ship only ocaml-atd and ocaml-atd-
devel?
(My infer package can then depend on ocaml(Atdgen) instead of
hardcoding the specific RPM name, so if I end up splitting the package
later it is not affected)
On a related note, the packaging guidelines is rather out of date:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/OCaml/
I have a minor PR for fixing the link back to the main guidelines:
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/1065
but found the example spec there really obsolete; I ended up basing my
spec on jjames' ocaml-menhir.
Likewise, the spec generated by `rpmdev-newspec -t ocaml` is out of
date and roughly corresponds with the spec in the packaging guidelines.
Is there an interest in revamping the documentation and template? Maybe
ship a separate template for ocaml-dune for projects that use dune as
as its build system?
Best regards,
