Subject: Ideas for ocaml-team
Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2023 04:32:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86bkhgc7jj.fsf@posteo.net> (raw)
Hello Guix,
I think it's time to start an `ocaml-team` (or `ocaml-updates`) branch
to collect some bigger updates and changes to the OCaml packages in
Guix.
Some things that I can think of:
* Update OCaml from 4.14.0 to 4.14.1
* Update OPAM from 2.1.3 to 2.1.5
- Requires a major update of ocaml-dose3 from 5.0.1 to 7.0.0
* Update Dune from 3.6.1 to 3.8.1
* Update Jane Street packages from 0.15.0 to 0.16.0
* Remove most ocaml4.07-* and ocaml4.09 packages
- We only want to keep the compiler around for bootstrapping purposes.
- Update unison 2.51.2 to 2.53.3: This makes it buildable with OCaml
4.14 or even 5.0. (see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2023-02/msg00253.html).
* Split packages from (gnu packages ocaml) into multiple modules. Maybe
in following modules:
- (gnu packages ocaml): For the compiler and core dev packages (opam,
dune, merlin)
- (gnu packages ocaml-boot): For the 4.07 and 4.09 compilers
- (gnu packages ocaml-xyz): Everything else
Thoughts? Any other things? How do we get started with such a branch?
Cheers,
pukkamustard
