OCaml 4.10.0 was released over the weekend.
We currently have OCaml 4.10.0 beta 1 in Rawhide. It's not that far
away from 4.10.0. Unfortunately since building beta 1, Fedora 32 was
forked from Rawhide so we now have the beta 1 build in Fedora 32 as
well.
Hopefully the plan is as follows:
(1) Rebuild OCaml 4.10.0 in a side tag then move it to Rawhide. I
don't expect any difficulties here since all the hard work was already
done when I built beta 1.
(2) Merge all those changes into the f32 branches of the ocaml*
packages.
(3) (This is where it gets more speculative because my mass rebuild
script has only ever been run against Rawhide ...) Rebuild in a side
tag of Fedora 32, and if that goes well then merge the side tag in
F32.
This should start happening this afternoon / tomorrow.
There are some packages which are still failing to build:
* coccinelle - Uses -unsafe-string, still waiting resolution upstream.
* nbdkit - Caused a crash in goals, all my code so I will try to
debug it this time
* plplot - FTBFS for unrelated reasons last time
* z3 -

coq and friends failed last time, but I believe they should work now.
Latest status is in this thread:
