I can't even get that far: omake's dependencies fail to build for me.

There are dozens of open tickets about problems with ocaml ports: query:port=~ocaml&status=!closed

The omake port doesn't have a maintainer right now. Somebody with ocaml knowledge will need to volunteer to figure out how to fix these problems.

Perry, I'm Cc'ing you since you maintain ocaml. Thought maybe you'd have an idea.

omake is pretty obsolete at this point; the ocaml universe is mostly moving to dune as a build tool. My usual taste at this point is to only maintain tools needed for end packages that use ocaml, like Unison, Coq, the OPAM package manager, etc. Mostly, if one wants to be using OCaml stuff at this point, one should use the MacPorts OPAM package to install OPAM and just build things from there.

Anyway, I'll assign this to myself, but I might not be inclined to actually fix it rather than obsoleting the port unless there's a good reason that it needs building inside of MacPorts. If Martin could explain why he needs it, I'll consider giving it a cleanup.

Sorry for the late response. I just checked, I do not need omake. I think it was installed when I wanted to test advi in the past. If no one else needs it anymore, making it obsolete is fine for me.

Resolution: wontfix
Status: assignedclosed

I've just removed the port, and I'm resolving this as "wontfix" in so far as the port has now been removed. It had two highly obsolete dependent packages in the ocaml/ directory, I've removed those as well.
