ocaml 4.04 transition
* i'm not subscribed, please CC me *
Hi,
I've synced 4.04 from experimental into Ubuntu and started to migrate
all the things.
I gave up on ocaml / ocamlbuild split, and thus made dh-ocaml to
depend on ocamlbuild. I guess the right approach is for the packages
to build-depend on ocamlbuild, but that was too many deltas for me to
upload into Ubuntu by myself.
Quite a few build failures are due to change from int32 to int32_t and similar.
Also there are some build failures due to incorrect ocaml var usage /
initialisation (anything that fails to access ocaml__frame).
And then there are unique failures due to stricter names of modules /
renames, etc. These are typically solved by getting new upstream
versions of things.
Current progress can be seen here:

Have you been planning 4.04 transition soon? And would you like me to
file some bugs with and/or without patches for things that need fixing
for smooth 4.04 binNMU transition?
