My impression is no. Answer is yes ... for some packages. When I published the second set of OCaml packaging guidelines[1] I made the use of a META file for findlib mandatory. So all new library packages should be findlib compatible, and 'ocamlfind -package ...' should just work. This is also in alignment with Debian's packaging policy. However there are still some old packages which don't conform to this guideline, and it seems like ocaml-camlimages is one of those. I've just filed a bug[2]. If you find any other packages like this, please also file bugs and assign them to me. This shouldn't stop you from using the package though. You can just compile it like this: ocamlfind ocamlc -package any,other,pkgs -I +camlimages foo.ml ocamlfind ocamlc -package any,other,pkgs -linkpkg -I +camlimages \ ci_core.cma foo.cmo It's a lot easier with proper findlib support though :-) > What do you recommend as the best > approach to using complex (as far as linking goes) librraies in Core 9. > Camlimages itself recommends including their recommended file inside my > Makefile. However that is not going to work easily with omake. I'm afraid I don't know very much about omake, but I'm sure a command such as the above would work. Rich.

Broken dependencies: ocaml-findlib (and lots else in Rawhide)

by Richard W.M. Jones

I rebuilt ocaml in Rawhide last week and that appears to have broken everything. I'm not sure why because the basic ocaml module should still exist. It might even just be an artifact which will sort itself out. If anyone wants to take a look at this feel free, otherwise I'll take a look on Monday.

55 OCaml packages now in Fedora

by Richard W.M. Jones

I've just posted a list of packages here. The good news is we now support 55 different (source) packages related to OCaml. http://cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_red_hat_and_fedora#Package... This list isn't updated automatically, although I have a script to regenerates it instantly, so if it gets out of date just ask me.

Outstanding Fedora OCaml review requests for week beginning 2008-05-12

by Richard W.M. Jones

Thanks to Jason Tibbitts ('tibbs') and David Lutterkort, we got through a large number of the Review Request backlog over the last two weeks. Here are the packages still waiting for review. In particular, I'd really like the first two reviewed, and will swap for any other packages you have. virt-df: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=442873 virt-top: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=442871 cmigrep: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444428 This needs OCaml 3.10.2 which is in Koji dist-f10 / what should be 'Rawhide' appearing today. If you have an older version of OCaml it should still work but you'll need to adjust the major/minor number in the spec file. ocaml-bin-prot: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445068 There's a PPC / little-endian build failure which I'm going to look into today. ocaml-janest-core: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445074 Requires ocaml-bin-prot above. virt-ctrl: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=442875 This one doesn't build at the moment. I'm going to fix it today. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
