ocaml-camlimages? I've kicked this package out of Fedora because
camlimages has a dead upstream *and* a lengthy history of security
bugs. It contains old C code pasted from various places, and really
shouldn't be used. The right way to do this is to use OCaml bindings
for libpng, libungif etc. (Debian even did some of this work, but
didn't contribute anything back upstream ...)
There has been an update since the package was removed. I don't see
a lot happening now, but at some time between when it was dropped and
now there was activity. (It went from 3.0.2 to 4.0.1.)
See my previous posting on this subject:

Freetennis has a long, long dead upstream (like 5+ years), and I was
fairly certain that I had made it 'dead.package' in the past too, but
checking it now, I didn't. I suggest killing it too.
It seems to work, so even without an active upstream I don't see a need
to drop it.
