I've updated that page, and built 8 libraries in that style.


Thanks!  To my un-OCaml eyes, that looks pretty good.  I have one
question:
'''
There are two scripts in the base ocaml package which automatically
calculate the right Requires and Provides for a library. To use them,
just add the following to the spec file:
%define _use_internal_dependency_generator 0
%define __find_requires /usr/lib/rpm/ocaml-find-requires.sh
%define __find_provides /usr/lib/rpm/ocaml-find-provides.sh
'''

The version of ocaml-find-* scripts that were posted to the list only
appeared to find ocaml requires and provides.  But OCaml can link to C
code as well.  Do we want to turn off the internal_dependency_generator
or do we want to supplement it?

I've attached the latest versions to this bug:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239004

These versions call the ordinary find-requires and find-provides first, before going on to look at OCaml-specific files. And they appear to find C dependencies (.so files and the like). For example, here is my ocaml-pcre package[1], which is a library which links to the C PCRE lib:

$ rpm -q --requires ocaml-pcre
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
libc.so.6()(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit)
libpcre.so.0()(64bit)
ocaml-Array-a904b798dd9665c2d3635636d293403c
ocaml-Callback-0ee2712bb82e3d81660a3132766fcb9b
ocaml-Char-0d0f20d5854680b694159a2fb0ca4e61
ocaml-List-5a0e3217fc356bd18f60bff31861dfd3
ocaml-Pervasives-71f888453b0f26895819460a72f07493
ocaml-String-fec8292bb1a02d2c7b8b4ba7b83a7d8b
ocaml-Sys-8cce770a42b7d0e4d85569c15d7841d6
ocaml = 3.09.3-2.fc6

$ rpm -q --provides ocaml-pcre
dllpcre_stubs.so()(64bit)
ocaml-Pcre-0ad0922a407866904c71fd615f05b414
ocaml-pcre = 5.11.4-3

So that's correct, I think?

Rich.
