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.
