Hi,
I am a DM, and tried to upgrade about 20 OCaml-related packages in my
own repo. Here is a summary of my works,
* packages with latest version compatible with ocaml-3.12
package latest ver
==========================
extlib 1.5.4
lablgl 20120306
lablgtk2 2.16.0
lacaml 7.0.7 (ITP status)
ocaml-expect 0.0.3
ocamlmod 0.0.3
ocaml-csv 1.2.6
ocaml-fileutils 0.4.4
oasis 0.3.0
ocaml-res 4.0.2
ounit 1.1.2
pcre-ocaml 7.0.2
ocamlgraph 1.8.3 (FTBFS, but easy to fix)
* packages with latest version requires ocaml >= 4.00.0
package latest ver build-dep
=============================================
bin-prot 109.15.00 findlib >= 1.3.2, type-conv >= 3.0.5
fieldslib 109.20.00 type-conv >= 109.20.00, findlib >= 1.3.2
findlib 1.3.3 (already in experimental)
janest-core 109.22.00 bin-prot >= 109.15.00, findlib >= 1.3.2,
sexplib310 >= 109.20.00, fieldslib >= 109.20.00
ocaml-data-notation 0.0.10 type-conv >= 108.07.01
sexplib310 109.20.00 type-conv >= 109.20.00
type-conv 109.20.00 findlib >= 1.3.2
* packages without new upstream release
camlbz2, ocamlify
I would like to join OCaml team and help with the transition, but as a
DM I need sponsorship.
Cheers,
Lifeng
