I'm doing a rebuild of the OCaml-related packages in F33 to move
from
OCaml 4.11.0 prerelease to OCaml 4.11.1 because:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1870368#c26
"A serious bug has been discovered last week in OCaml 4.11.0:
explicit polymorphic annotations are checked too permissively.
Some incorrect programs (possibly segfaulting) are accepted
by the compiler in 4.11.0.
Programs accepted by OCaml 4.10 are unchanged.
We are thus releasing OCaml 4.11.1 as an early bugfix version.
You are advised to upgrade to this new version if you were
using OCaml 4.11.0."
Unfortunately some of the packages now have release tags with .1 at
the end because I forgot that my script would run rpmdev-bumpspec -r
(rightmost), eg brltty got:
-Release: 11%{?dist}
+Release: 11%{?dist}.1
(https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=760)
That wasn't intended, but it's happened now, so sorry about that one.
I'm hoping that the upgrade path from F33 -> F34 should not be
affected because IIUC:
brltty ...-11.fc33.1 < -11.fc34
(Since these are being built into a side tag, if it turns out that I
have broken the upgrade path then we could drop the builds before they
get into F33.)
For better or worse this is now in updates-testing:
