We need to upload the new version of OCaml that drops support for buggy archs.On Mon, Nov 05, 2007 at 10:12:03AM +0000, Samuel Mimram wrote:Now that the new gtk is in testing, we should try to have OCaml 3.10 in testing.

As pointed out by me earlier and skaller on this thread, this is not a bug in felix, but in OCaml. I didn't bother re-assigning it before since I thought we were going to upload the fixed OCaml packages as soon as someone got around to it. Re-assigning now. Note that felix is not the only package which finds this bug, omake can also tickle this bug (with no coincidence that these are two larger packages that actually run tests during their builds)<felix_rant> Mike: I see that recently you've re-uploaded felix, can I ask why you didn't tackle the build issue on some architectures? At the very minimum we can avoid building the package on that arch, but also falling back to bytecode only there shouldn't be too hard. Am I missing something else here? </felix_rant>
Moot point as I've now re-assigned the bug to OCaml where it belongs. Also, since we have to update OCaml anyway, I don't understand why we would want to do so now. We would just have to do /another/ transition to rebuild all the packages on the affected architectures.As I've already said elsewhere, I totally agree with removing felix from testing.
