Thanks again. Let's see what happens when 4.12 is finally
released.
I have picked up ocaml-ocp-indent, which was orphaned recently,
because frama-c needs it. I pushed some changes to the Rawhide branch
today but haven't rebuilt. I'll let the OCaml 4.12 rebuilds take care
of that. I'm going to do likewise with ocaml-menhir, probably in the
next 24 hours.
I am thinking of picking up ocaml-merlin, which is also orphaned. I
have tried updating it to 4.1, but some tests are failing. A little
debugging work revealed that merlin is trying to read standard library
*.cmt and *.cmti files, but we don't have them in our ocaml package.
I see this in ocaml.spec:
# Remove .cmt and .cmti files, for now. We could package them later.
# See also:

find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT \( -name '*.cmt' -o -name '*.cmti' \) -a -delete
Can we make "later" be when OCaml 4.12 is released? They could go
into a separate subpackage, since most OCaml packages won't need them.
Thanks,
