Bug 30494 – ocaml 3.07 is available

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hanno Böck 2003-10-06 10:58:11 UTC]

See subject.
Just copying the 3.07_beta2 ebuild works.

[Comment 1 George Shapovalov (RETIRED) 2003-10-06 14:30:45 UTC]

But it contains bunch of $PV substitutions which are not necessary for a
release (no _betaX part in the name).
Added "cleaned-up" ebuild, please test.

Jason: since you added sparc related patch, I presume you would be inerested
in testing if it still works on sparc with this version.

Thanks for the heads up George.

The patch is no longer needed in 3.07, but the host declaration is so I cleaned
up the sparc portions of the ebuild and committed the changes.

The current ocaml-3.07 release has a problem with optional argument parsing,
a patch is available at 
http://caml.inria.fr/distrib/ocaml-3.07/ocaml-3.07-patch1.diffs. It is needed
to compile cameleon, cduce and other ml package.
The caml distribution maintainer (Xavier Leroy) plans to release a patched
version with no version bump soon though.
I did not test without the patch but everything works ok, AFAICS.
