rpmautospec breakage in Rawhide
by Jerry James 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

The last OCaml mass rebuild made incorrect changes to two spec files that use rpmautospec, namely ocaml-base64 and ocaml-opam-file-format. The Release field should be reverted to plain "%autorelease" and the changelog entry above "%autochangelog" removed. If nobody has time to deal with it before the mass rebuild starts, I can fix them. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/

Package notes
by Jerry James 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

I've been watching the action on these bugs since the new package notes facility broke frama-c: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2043092 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2044028 It just dawned on me that, due to this feature, when the mass rebuild packages are merged into Rawhide, we may end up with the entire OCaml ecosystem failing to build from source. The reason is that ocaml.spec bakes $RPM_LD_FLAGS into ocamlopt. Well, $RPM_LD_FLAGS now includes a path to a package-specific notes file, which means every ocaml-foo package that uses ocamlopt is going to get the path to the notes file for the ocaml package, which isn't going to exist. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/

Pile of OCaml package updates
by Jerry James 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

Happy holidays, OCaml packagers! I've had new versions of various packages piling up for awhile now. I've finally got time to deal with them, and have played the usual game of "if I have to rebuild this anyway, I may as well update it to its latest upstream version". I would like to do the following builds some time this week, for Rawhide only. Let me know if that will interfere with anything you have planned. You can see the planned builds in this COPR repo: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jjames/OCaml/ Builds with existing pull requests: - ocaml-biniou (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ocaml-biniou/pull-request/1) - ocaml-cppo (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ocaml-cppo/pull-request/2) - ocaml-yojson (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ocaml-yojson/pull-request/1) Updates for packages that I maintain or comaintain: - alt-ergo 2.3.0 - ocaml-atd (same version, but extensive updates; also, claim this package) - ocaml-bin-prot 0.15.0 - ocaml-lablgtk 2.18.12 - ocaml-lablgtk3 3.1.2 - ocaml-menhir 20211223 - ocaml-ppx-fields-conv 0.15.0 - ocaml-ppx-inline-test 0.15.0 - ocaml-ppx-variants-conv 0.15.0 - ocaml-ppxlib 0.24.0 - ocaml-psmt2-frontend 0.4.0 Updates for packages that I do not maintain: - coccinelle (same version, but some spec file upgrades) - ocaml-migrate-parsetree 2.3.0 - ocaml-mlgmpidl 1.2.14 - ocaml-pcre 7.5.0 - ocaml-sedlex 2.5 - ocaml-xml-light 2.4 - ocaml-xmlm 1.3.0 - ocaml-zip 1.11 Simple rebuilds for packages that I maintain or comaintain: - apron - coq - frama-c - ocaml-bisect-ppx - ocaml-ocamlgraph - ocaml-ppx-assert - ocaml-ppx-base - ocaml-ppx-cold - ocaml-ppx-compare - ocaml-ppx-custom-printf - ocaml-ppx-deriving - ocaml-ppx-deriving-yojson - ocaml-ppx-enumerate - ocaml-ppx-hash - ocaml-ppx-here - ocaml-ppx-js-style - ocaml-ppx-optcomp - ocaml-ppx-sexp-conv - ocaml-time-now - ocaml-tplib - ocaml-tyxml (fixes FTI in Rawhide) - why3 Simple rebuilds for packages that I do not maintain: - ocaml-camlimages - ocaml-dose3 - ocaml-lwt - ocaml-ocamlnet - opam Regards, -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/

Group maintainership?
by Michel Alexandre Salim 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Hi, Would it be a good idea to have a packager group for Ocaml, similar to what we already have for Python, Rust, and (sssh) Lua? Benefit: for those who are not active in this list, getting a request to add a packaging group to help co-maintain a package probably feels more trustworthy than getting asked by an individual packager. Also, as (hopefully) we get more expert packagers - I definitely won't volunteer to be put in this group right now (I'm in the other three) - these can get added to the group and don't have to manually ask for access to individual packages. I did it a while back for Lua, so I probably still have my notes about how to do this somewhere. Best regards, -- Michel Alexandre Salim profile: https://keyoxide.org/michel@michel-slm.name
