New draft packaging guidelines for OCaml
by Richard W.M. Jones
I've started a page for updating the packaging guidelines.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/OCaml
At the moment it's a straight copy of the packaging guidelines except
that I've updated 'ocaml-foolib.spec' from my private copy of that
file.
Some ideas:
- how useful is the whole '%opt' stuff now that we have native
compilation on every Fedora architecture?
- use of chrpath and strip
- should we finally distribute ocaml-find-requires/provides with
upstream RPM? They haven't changed in a long time.
- note about some common rpmlint errors:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433783
- ISO-8859-1 - should we ban it from *.ml & *.mli files?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434694
- camlp4/camlp5 syntax extensions are a bit different from a
distribution point of view. They usually don't need a -devel
package, and they require *.cmo files to be distributed.
And sometimes they should be noarch.

OCaml/ppc64
by David Woodhouse
Bored again, playing with OCaml/ppc64 for a bit of light relief.
boot/ocamlrun ./ocamlopt -nostdlib unix.cmxa -g -I stdlib -I ../otherlibs/unix ocamlbuild/ocamlbuild_executor.cmx ocamlbuild/ocamlbuild_pack.cmx ocamlbuild/ocamlbuild_unix_plugin.cmx ocamlbuild/ocamlbuild.cmx -o ocamlbuild/ocamlbuild.native
/usr/bin/ld: ocamlbuild/ocamlbuild_pack.o(.text+0x500c): unresolvable R_PPC64_REL24 relocation against symbol `ceil@(a)GLIBC_2.3'
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
How do I make it link against -lm? Why doesn't this bite elsewhere?
