I'm aware of 2 packages I maintain that have new versions that reportedly support OCaml 5, but which require ocaml-cmdliner >= 1.1.0. That version is not backwards compatible with previous versions, so all users of ocaml-cmdliner will have to be updated simultaneously. I've got another package that has a new version supporting OCaml 5, but it needs ocaml-yojson >= 2.0.0 which, you guessed it, is not backwards compatible with ocaml-yojson 1.x. This week I am working on a massive update of all GAP packages due to the release of GAP 4.12. I hope to start looking at the cmdliner and yojson issues next week. Perhaps we should create a COPR repo so we can start figuring out what works and what is broken. The repo at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jjames/Infer/ is now so bit-rotted as to be useless. I should probably just delete it. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/
