24 Apr '08

Fedora 10 has been forked but at time of writing CVS was not open yet. When CVS opens, these are the changes I'll be committing: Package New version? Upstream URL? Other/notes --------------------------------------------------------------------- ocaml 3.10.2 - Lots of fixes to make rpmlint happier findlib - changed lablgtk 2.10.1 - lacaml 4.3.1 changed ocamlnet - changed pcre 5.14.0 changed pxp 1.2.0test2 changed ulex 1.1 changed I don't especially intend to backport any of this to Fedora <= 9 unless people make special requests for it (email here or file a bugzilla).

The standard way to add OCaml packages to RHEL would be to use EPEL (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL). Unfortunately support for OCaml packages in EPEL-4 (RHEL-4) was very poor indeed. We only supported OCaml 3.09.2 + three other packages, specifically camlimages, ocaml-SDL and freetennis. If you can assure me that (a) you can use EPEL-4 (ie. your admins will allow you to add it as an extra repository), and (b) that you'll test this, and (c) you can give me a complete list of OCaml packages you'd like, then I can have a look at what it would take to add those packages to EPEL-4 for you. Note that we cannot upgrade the base OCaml package (3.09.2) in EPEL releases, because EPEL is supposed to be super-stable. If not the above, then your best bet is probably to use GODI. Rich. PS.

OCaml 3.10.2 (was: Re: Fedora 9 Final Freeze)

Unless anyone objects, the first thing I'll do once Fedora 10 branches is to upgrade to OCaml 3.10.2. This is supposedly a very minor upgrade, just bug fixes. I've been following Debian and they haven't had any noticable trouble. It is even rumoured to be binary-compatible with 3.10.1 (but I won't be testing this theory ...)
