I just had a look at backporting it. It's not only OCaml, it's also the versions of libextlib-ocaml-dev, libocamlgraph-ocaml-dev and librpm-dev which either have to be backported or dose3 has to be patched. Cherry-picking the feature is quite difficult as well. At least I got now stuck and would need some time to investigate why things fail. Unfortunately, that is time that I don't currently have. Maybe Pietro (in CC) can give some insight? Thanks! cheers, josch
