Yes, they desperately need to be updated. At the moment it's better to look at existing practise as you have done.
I have a minor PR for fixing the link back to the main guidelines: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/1065
I'm not sure if I'm able to merge this. The "merge" button just shows an empty box when clicked, so maybe not. However I added a comment saying it looks OK.
but found the example spec there really obsolete; I ended up basing my spec on jjames' ocaml-menhir.
Likewise, the spec generated by `rpmdev-newspec -t ocaml` is out of date and roughly corresponds with the spec in the packaging guidelines.
Is there an interest in revamping the documentation and template? Maybe ship a separate template for ocaml-dune for projects that use dune as as its build system?
Sure.
Rich.
