    dev-lang/ocaml: Bump to version 4.09.0, EAPI 7
    
    This new OCaml ebuild uses EAPI 7. As discussed with Zlogenem, multi-
    platform support has been removed and the ebuild is now keyworded for
    ~amd64 only.
    
    Significant time was spent figuring out why the build failed when run
    via ebuild, but succeeded when run manually. After I filed an upstream
    issue[1] and a subsequent discussion, it turned out that Gentoo's ${P}
    variable clashed with the OCaml build, as I had suspected. The line
    
        P ?= stdlib__
    
    in a Makefile resulted in wrong file paths which in turn broke the
    OCaml documentation build. I have asked upstream if their use of the
    "?=" operator is deliberate; an answer is pending.
    
    The license in this build has been changed to match [2].

Comment 2 Jannik Glückert 2020-02-09 13:12:39 UTC
This version breaks emerging the stable version of dev-ml/findlib . The stable useflag should be dropped until this is resolved - perhaps a newer version of findlib fixes this, I haven't tested that

An excerpt of the build.log of dev-ml/findlib-1.7.1 :

Had the same issue. findlib-1.7.2 and 1.7.3 fail too but 1.8.1 builds fine again.
Comment 4 ernsteiswuerfel archtester 2020-02-09 15:59:54 UTC
Also need ocamlbuild-0.14.0 since ocaml-4.09.0 stabilization.

Building ocamlbuild-0.10.1 or ocamlbuild-0.11.0 I get:

[...]

ocamlbuild-0.14.0 builds ok.
Comment 5 Malcolm Lashley 2020-02-09 18:29:57 UTC
Also needs ppx_tools bumped for compatibility, per 704106.

cp ppx_tools-5.0.4.05.0.ebuild ppx_tools-5.3.4.08.0.ebuild

Seems to do the trick.

I was also unable to @ocaml-rebuild (at least) these with the new ocaml version.

dev-ml/parmap-1.0_rc8
dev-ml/extlib-1.7.6

I spent some time on bumps, until I got to new packages requiring dev-ml/dune to build, which is a hard-conflict with jbuilder ebuild.
Comment 6 Marat Radchenko 2020-02-09 19:54:52 UTC
This also broke stable dev-ml/camlp4:

>>> Configuring source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-ml/camlp4-4.04_p1/work/camlp4-4.04-1 ...
This version of Camlp4 is for OCaml 4.04 but you are using OCaml 4.09.0.
If building Camlp4 directly from git, use the 4.09 branch.

ocamlbuild is not a blocker in fact but should go stable too, otherwise this version of ocaml would not be installed anyway.

Comment 11 liqsquid 2020-02-09 22:14:32 UTC
I have some info about findlib.

As it fails to emerge, it says:

Welcome to findlib version 1.7.1
Configuring core...
Checking for #remove_directory...
Testing threading model...
The -vmthread switch is not supported: Your ocaml version is too old!

And if you run the command:

$ ocamlc -vmthread

You get the following message:

The -vmthread argument of ocamlc is no longer supported
since OCaml 4.09.0.  Please switch to system threads, which have the
same API. Lightweight threads with VM-level scheduling are provided by
third-party libraries such as Lwt, but with a different API.

    dev-ml/camomile: ocaml-4.09 compat fixes
    
    Existing ebuild will not build with ocaml-4.09, only with older versions
    that have an outstanding GLSA (202007-48). ocaml-4.09 is being
    stabilized now.  This commit just uses the existing workaround/fix in
    b.g.o and updates the ebuild to EAPI=7.
    
    Note that EAPI7 required modifying an existing patch so it will apply
    with -p1; should still work with the old ebuild that uses epatch.
