Package: dh-ocaml
Version: 0.9.0
Severity: normal

This bug is a reminder for a known issue with dh_ocaml.

If dh_ocaml is used to compute dependencies of an arch:all package,
this package won't be installable on all architectures. This is
because the ABI of a library may be different on each architectures.

Currently, all *.cmi and *.cmx (if present) are taken into account to
compute a single ABI. A solution to the problem would be to compute
two distinct ABIs per (native) architecture: one for all *.cmi files
(which should be the same on all architectures... unless there is some
kind of conditional compilation), and one for all *.cmx files on
native architectures (this one might be different for each native
architecture, but it shouldn't be a problem).

thanks

No progress in more than 8 years on this bug...

IMHO (now), computing two ABIs looks fragile (because of the possibility
of conditional compilation producing arch-dependent bytecode).

Making packages arch:any looks easier and more sensible.

Hence, closing. Feel free to reopen if you have new arguments.


Cheers,
