Do we need an upgrade policy for OCaml packages in Fedora releases?
by Richard W.M. Jones 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

We've got requests such as this one (upgrade lablgtk to 2.10.0 in Fedora 8): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=424821 and a related one from Peter Lemenkov to support mldonkey. As I commented in that BZ, if we do that upgrade then at least 4 dependent packages need to be rebuilt as well. Furthermore anyone writing their own software on F8 which used any of these packages would need to at least recompile. On the other hand I took the opportunity this week to upgrade several packages in Rawhide (including lablgtk 2.10.0). That shouldn't be a problem because we expect Rawhide to break things. So I wonder if we need a policy that once a version of Fedora has been released, we don't upgrade packages on a whim, but only if there is a serious need (eg. security or some otherwise unresolvable bug). What do people think? I don't want to be too restrictive. If people don't mind recompiling that's another matter. Perhaps we should only have this policy for the base OCaml package and some other "vital" packages (eg. findlib) and leave the decision on a case-by-case basis for other packages?

I'm just waiting for them to get pushed through the system.

They are both in F-9, or will be shortly.

Broken dependencies
by Richard W.M. Jones 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Not quite sure what's going on here. Notice that the dependencies are strange - they all begin with "0:...". Yet looking in Koji, these haven't been rebuilt recently and the deps look fine.

Re: About slightly outdated ocaml and lablgtk in Fedora and EPEL

Gerard, The attached patch to the specfile seems to get lablgtk 2.10.0 working on my machine. Lablgl doesn't need to be updated.

MLDonkey requirements
by Peter Lemenkov 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hello All. Any news about updating ocaml to 3.10.x and lablgtk to 2.10 ver.? Right now we have only one suitable distro - devel. F8 has ocaml 3.10.x, but lablgtk 2.6.x. All other branches have ocaml 3.09, which is unacceptable for MLDonkey. Since mldonkey is an ocaml killer-app I strongly vote for upgrading these two titles in every existed branch - in F8, F7, FC6, EL5, EL4. -- With best regards!

New packages in EPEL
by Richard W.M. Jones 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

I've just added the following packages to EPEL-5: ocaml-calendar ocaml-camlimages ocaml-csv ocaml-curses ocaml-extlib ocaml-findlib ocaml-libvirt ocaml-xml-light Actually, the ocaml-libvirt package isn't built fully yet because it depends on a newer libvirt package from RHEL 5.1. Also, these are all built for OCaml 3.09.3 and don't have full dependencies (because we only did the proper dependency stuff in 3.10 / Fedora 8).
