I am not sure this message helps anything in any way. I can certainly
understand your frustration. I am not convinced this reaction can make
things moving forward. Instead, let's focus on the core issue.
AFAIK, older versions of Unison cannot work with OCaml 4.02. The latter
has been uploaded last October and we've transitioned all the OCaml stack
to 4.02.3. Since we don't support multiple version of OCaml in the same
archive, older versions of Unison had to be removed since they became
useless. Stéphane could have invested some time to backport necessary
changes to make them work with OCaml 4.02.3. Unfortunately, this requires
quite some work and was not worth trying.
The remaining issue is the situation of users of mixed machines stable/testing.
We are working on a solution for them and we are quite confident to get this
sorted out. The solution will probably land debian-backports and will be
announced on this list. So stay tuned!
In the meantime, he are the few working solutions that have been mentioned
by some users:
1) Copy needed binaries on systems you want to synchronize with.
2) Install Unison's packages from Jessie, and not use Stretch's ones.
If you encountering an issue that is not covered by what I've described, please
do share it with us so that we can try to help you.
