Probably have mostly the same people on the obs list and the packaging list, but never the less I will try my luck here as well. I have a couple of requests/questions in "cleaning up" OCaml related packages and a problem. 1.) Since we have top level devel:languages:ocaml project can we please move everything that is ocaml related and maintained devel:languages:misc into the ocaml project? 2.) Do we have anyone that is really interested in OCaml or do we just have what we have because other projects/packages depend on the few packages we do have? in d:l:ocaml the ocaml package is a link to the package in Factory. The devel project for factory is d:l:misc. Because of local mods in d:l:ocaml the link is busted due to merge conflicts. This breaks other packages in d:l:ocaml. I have no idea how to fix this as every time I try to touch any of these packages to get something fixed I get a stupid: buildinfo is broken... it says: type of message. This is of course complete crap as it prevents a person trying to fix something from fixing it. In addition to the gripes above I have a problem that I am stuck on and could also use some help with. I am trying to build ocamlnet which depends on pcre. The build process failes with this error: ocamlfind ocamlc -g -I ../../src/netstring -package "unix" -custom -o ocamlrpcgen -package unix,netstring \ rpc_generator.cma main.cmo -linkpkg /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lpcre_stubs collect2: ld returned 1 exit status File "_none_", line 1, characters 0-1: Error: Error while building custom runtime system make[1]: *** [ocamlrpcgen] Error 2 Knowing nothing about OCaml build and link processes I can only infer things. Obviously the process calls ld to link a binary and passes -lpcre_stubs, this would require the presence of libpcre_stubs.so somewhere in the default search directories of ld. However, the package ocaml-pcre does not provide this, it provides a dllpcre_stubs.so file in a none-standard location (%{_libdir}/ocaml/stublibs). Should ocaml-pcre create and provide a link %{_libdir}/libpcre_stubs.so to {_libdir}/ocaml/stublibs/dllpcre_stubs.so, or maybe a link in %{_libdir}/ocaml/stublibs and then a -L argument on the link line? Or is there some trick that ocamlfind is supposed to play for me? Help is as always appreciated.
