Status of OCaml packaging

Some brief notes on what has happened since last Tuesday w.r.t. OCaml packaging in Fedora.

Gerard produced the base ocaml package for OCaml 3.10.0 (the latest upstream version). OCaml 3.10 has some major changes which affect a lot of upstream packages.

http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/release.en.html

After last Tuesday's meeting I've fixed several things which were problems:

* I've built all but two OCaml packages against OCaml 3.10, including submitting an upstream patch. The two which don't yet work are ocaml-pxp and cduce, which both require significant effort upstream. (http://annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/, http://tinyurl.com/2rl4w6)

* rpmbuild now doesn't call rpm recursively.

* OCaml dependencies now look like ocaml(ModuleName) = Hash

* ocaml-find-requires and ocaml-find-provides scripts are looking more solid and final, and are working their way into RPM. (https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-June/msg01071.html)

* I fixed the way that we split out the -devel subpackage (I think). (https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2007-June/msg00064.html)

* All packages now support bytecode architectures.

I've revised the OCaml Packaging Draft guidelines several times. The latest version is here:
