Similar was fixed for app-misc/geneweb with https://bugs.gentoo.org/707312#c7
Please change dependency to DEPEND="<dev-lang/ocaml-4.09[ocamlopt?]
(In reply to charles17 from comment #6) > Please change dependency to > DEPEND="<dev-lang/ocaml-4.09[ocamlopt?] I can confirm masking dev-lang/ocaml-4.09.0 allows net-misc/unison-2.48.4-r1 to be built.
Confirming here too, Debian has a patch.

This patch fixes this for me.
With the patch for unison-2.48 applied, I am able to build unison with ocaml-4.09. However, the resulting program is not interoperable with the same version built with ocaml-4.04: Failed: Server: Fatal error during unmarshaling (input_value: ill-formed message), possibly because client and server have been compiled with different versions of the OCaml compiler. I do not know enough about OCaml to know what might have changed with the compiler. It does not appear that the patch should have caused this, unless possibly it has an effect on the sort order. Since the unison build for Ubuntu (and presumably others) has been built with the older OCaml compiler, this seems to makes interoperability impossible.

That's completely normal with unison, you need to have both endpoints compiled with the same version of ocaml. Maybe it's even written somewhere in the unison docs. I guess it's because unison uses some language-level serialization which is very dependent on the compiler. Some close versions may be compatible but generally they are not.

I was struggling with Gentoo <-> Debian in the past. At the moment Debian uses ocaml-4.08 which is luckily compatible with Gentoo's ocaml-4.09. You have two options, either compile fresh versions of ocaml and unison manually on Ubuntu (that's what I formerly did on Debian) or downgrade ocaml on Gentoo, 4.04 is still available. Slotting ocaml would help in this regard, but I am not sure if it's worth the effort otherwise.
I'm hit by this as well (and I'm pretty sure unison is the only ocaml program here) Could the dependancy be fixed in the unison ebuild ?

Yeah, I managed to modify the ebuild to apply a compatibility patch for OCaml 4.08 and it works fine. Though, I'm brand new to gentoo, so I'm currently looking into proposing the changes.

The 2.48 branch was probably never enabled for ocaml-4.09. See the »Compatibility with OCaml 4.08« commit on https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison/commits/unison-2.48 Maybe better restrict to ocaml-4.08

The patches here will fix compatibility with 4.09.0, but not 4.10.0. Worth looking at because 4.09.0 is in stable now. I suspect the latest release (rc right now) will work with 4.10.0, but that will only be for the latest slot.

why is this marked as resolve while the current stable (2.48.4-r1) still fails to build? I think revision 2 should be stabilized as well.
