Description
I want to bring Stan language and platform into Macports: https://mc-stan.org
It is a huge thing encompassing math libraries, tools to generate models, integration into R and Python etc. One of its core components is an interpreter written in OCaml, stanc.
While we have needed dependencies for other components in Macports (eigen3, sundials, onetbb etc.), OCaml part needs something about 50 new ports (mostly tiny ones, like Python packages). I have written portfiles for those, and built everything, as far as OCaml part goes.
Few existing OCaml ports need minor fixes for PPC, like this one: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/16744 Mostly everything builds fine. I think I had to patch about 5–6 ports, and mostly of the new ones which are not in Macports yet.
If @pmetzger or anyone else understanding OCaml is interested to co-maintain those ports, that will be awesome. Please let me know here, and I will add you.
