missing camlp4 for my package wyrd

[Till Maas]

Hiyas,

today I was notified that my package wyrd does not build anymore for Fedora 
Rawhide, because the package camlp4 cannot be found anymore. When I search 
for it at koji, I cannot find any evidence, that it ever existed. Was it 
removed because of camlp5? I tried to compile wyrd with camlp5, but it fails:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=701349&name=build.log

cd curses && 
ocamlc.opt -ccopt " -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\"
-DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\"
-DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DCURSES_HEADER=\<ncursesw/curses.h\>
-DCURSES_TERM_H=\<term.h\> -DHAVE_WIDE_CURSES=1 -O2 -g -pipe -Wall
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32
-march=i386 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -Wall -fPIC -DPIC" -c 
ml_curses.c
ocamlopt.opt -c -pp camlp4o -I ./curses install.ml
sh: camlp4o: command not found

camlp4o is hardcoded in Makefile.in, I wrote a patch that changes it into 
camlp5o and now it compiles.

Is there a way to make it always use the latest camlp version available? Is it 
intended, that there is no generic camlp Provides that a package could 
require to get always the newest camlp?

Btw. is someone interested in co-maintaining wyrd? I would be nice if someone 
could adjust the BuildRequires whenever they change because of changed ocaml 
packages, like I did it now with camlp.

Regards,
Till

No, it was just renamed.  Use:

  BuildRequires: ocaml-camlp4-devel

If you make sure that the cvs-extras group has commit access then
we'll be able to fix these bugs without being co-maintainers.

Thanks, I thought I tried this one, too. It was already a BR in wyrd, but 
there was also a BR on camlp4, which was probably needed for F7, according to 
the comments in my spec. I guess the Provides of camlp4 was removed recently. 
Now with only the ocaml-camlp4-devel BR it builds again.

Cvs-extras has already commit access.
