This is now complete and soon the new packages will be merged into
Fedora Rawhide:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-2e0b2d6395
A few non-critical packages failed to build, and I will look at these
later unless someone gets around to it before me. The failures are
listed at the end.
Notable changes:
- Release notes:
https://ocaml.org/releases/4.09.0.html
- ocaml-camlp4 (grammar extensions) has finally been deprecated. All
dependent packages were retired already in Fedora 31, and
ocaml-camlp4 itself will soon be retired. Use ocaml-camlp5 or PPX
extension points instead.
- ocamlopt -p (native profiling with gprof) has been removed
upstream. Their argument is that there are better tools (eg perf)
and they work fine with OCaml code.
https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues/2314
- ocaml-x11 (various demo-level APIs for accessing X11 directly) was
moved out of the OCaml distribution upstream. While we might
consider packaging this separately, my advise is to use Gtk etc
instead.
- caml_named_value returns a const pointer. While this is correct,
it also broke a couple of our packages and will require upstream
fixes.
- RISC-V support should be in better shape.
Rich.
