[Caml-list] ANNOUNCE: Status of OCaml in Fedora
Richard Jones
Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is getting along.
We had the packaging guidelines approved about 6 weeks ago which
allowed packages to start being reviewed
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/OCaml). Since then we have
rebased to OCaml 3.10.0 and packaged up the following: ocamlsdl,
camlimages, ocurl, expat, extlib, findlib, lablgl, lablgtk2, pcre,
ocaml-ssl and ulex.
The following packages are still at various stages in the development
or review process: calendar, ocamlnet, cduce, coq, PXP, ocaml-csv.

Want to suggest a package for inclusion in Fedora? Please email me.
To use the packages, enable the Fedora Development repository
(/etc/yum.repos.d/development.repo) and just 'yum install ocaml...'
The complete list of OCaml packages and their versions is shown below.

I don't believe the Debian packages for 3.10 have filtered through but I was
so desperate to use the awesome new natdynlink branch that upgraded to that
from CVS and rebuilt almost all packages from the existing Debian source
packages with:
apt-get --build source foo
Most packages work like this right out of the box.

Actually, they are available in experimental. A summary page of what's
going on in Debian wrt OCaml versions is available at:
http://sockmel.bononia.it/~zack/ocaml-debian-status/debian-ocaml-status.html
What is stopping a full migration to unstable is that some major OCaml
related packages haven't yet been ported by the respective author to
OCaml 3.10 and are experiencing CamlP4-related incompatibilities.

FWIW, all OCaml related packages in Debian should have a Vcs-Svn field
pointing to the subversion repository we are using for maintenance (you
can see it with "apt-get showsrc"). There you can find the current
working version of the Debian package.
Cheers.

Oh yea, and apt is so Advanced a Package Tool .. it even
understands source build dependencies .. NOT!

Nope. There's no way to do it. This simply tries to install the
*binary* packages required. You can't autobuild dependencies
with apt, I've already investigated this.

I guess that apt isn't Gentoo portage.
Even having this facility isn't going to help you much if you are
trying to upgrade to OCaml 3.10 because you still have to do the
manual work to fix camlp4 changes.
BTW: Debian people: I've done ocamlnet to 3.10 using a grotesque hack.
I wonder if anyone has worked on PXP?

Debian apt is designed to be a *binary* package installer.
If you want to build all your packages from source your should
be running Gentoo or one of the other source distributions.

We are using camlp5 for ocamlnet and it works properly.
> I wonder if anyone has worked on PXP?
PXP is a bit more tricky since it requires ulex which, if built with the
latest camlp4, is (of course) incompatible with camlp5. The current plan
is to ship two ulex packages: 1.0 built with new camlp4 and 0.8 built
with camlp5. Then PXP should be buildable with the combination ulex 0.8
+ camlp5. The "shuold" is because I haven't yet tried it out.
