Description

Please upgrade ocaml to 4.04.0. A patch has been included, which simply bumps the revision number, fixes the checksum and renames one file (README is now README.adoc)

A separate set of patches for camlp5 and the like are forthcoming, but this can be applied first.

Does 4.04.0 introduce any incompatibilities (compared to 4.02.2) that we should know about?

comment:4 Changed 8 years ago by pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)

I have (in parallel) also submitted an update to camlp5 that should be applied at the same time. I'm unaware of any others, though likely an update to ocaml-camlp4 would be useful as one is available.

Ocamlbuild was split out from OCaml in 4.03, so I’ll have to test all OCaml ports before committing this. Ugh.

comment:6 Changed 8 years ago by pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)

If I can be of some help in speeding this up let me know.

comment:7 Changed 7 years ago by pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)

Howdy! It is now the case that one would want to update to OCaml 4.05.0 instead.

Also, unless we do this update, I can't fix other things. For example, the latest Coq, which I've been wanting to update to forever, requires a much newer OCaml. Could we do the update?

We'll def. need an ocamlbuild package, and probably to make sure that ocaml-findlib is up to date since ocamlfind is needed by so many ocaml packages.

Please re-add the epoch line to your patch and update to the latest version if applicable. Otherwise, no one will see this update.

comment:9 Changed 7 years ago by pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)

I don't know what the "epoch" line means in this context?

And the real issue right now is that larryv correctly states that we need to fix a couple of other things in parallel.

comment:10 Changed 7 years ago by mf2k (Frank Schima)

Once added, the epoch line can never be removed. It is our method of allowing downgrades.

comment:11 Changed 7 years ago by pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)

As I said, I don't know what an epoch line means. This makes it harder for me to interpret what you are suggesting.

comment:12 Changed 7 years ago by LRGH

I support the need of upgrading ocaml :-)

comment:13 Changed 7 years ago by pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)

FYI, I've submitted a large-scale update to the OCaml system in Ticket #55358. When it is applied, this ticket can be closed.
