I'm filing this bug report against myself so it is properly tracked and to make it known I'm aware of the issue, but unable to fix it right away. When building in parallel sometime unison (and unison251) fail with the error at the end of this message. I've tried some simple changes to the Makefile but they did not fix it, in fact caused other errors. I'm still looking for a solution, which requires time because I know very little about ocaml. If anyone more fluent in ocaml than me could take a look and maybe easily spot the problem and give a pointer to me it would be greatly appreciated. =======================<phase: build >============================ ===== env: NO_DEPENDS=yes USER=root UID=0 GID=0 ===> Building for unison-2.52.0 gmake[1]: Entering directory '/wrkdirs/usr/ports/net/unison/work-x11/unison-2.52.0/src' /bin/sh: bash: not found ocamlopt: compat408.mli ---> compat408.cmi ocamlopt -g -I lwt -I ubase -I system -I fsmonitor -I fsmonitor/linux -I system/generic -I lwt/generic -I /usr/local/lib/ocaml/site-lib/lablgtk2 -pp "ocaml /wrkdirs/usr/ports/net/unison/work-x11/unison-2.52.0/src/configure.ml pp" -c /wrkdirs/usr/ports/net/unison/work-x11/unison-2.52.0/src/compat408.mli ocamlopt: ubase/umarshal.mli ---> ubase/umarshal.cmi ocamlopt -g -I lwt -I ubase -I system -I fsmonitor -I fsmonitor/linux -I system/generic -I lwt/generic -I /usr/local/lib/ocaml/site-lib/lablgtk2 -pp "ocaml /wrkdirs/usr/ports/net/unison/work-x11/unison-2.52.0/src/configure.ml pp" -c /wrkdirs/usr/ports/net/unison/work-x11/unison-2.52.0/src/ubase/umarshal.mli ocamlopt: ubase/rx.mli ---> ubase/rx.cmi ocamlopt -g -I lwt -I ubase -I system -I fsmonitor -I fsmonitor/linux -I system/generic -I lwt/generic -I /usr/local/lib/ocaml/site-lib/lablgtk2 -pp "ocaml /wrkdirs/usr/ports/net/unison/work-x11/unison-2.52.0/src/configure.ml pp" -c /wrkdirs/usr/ports/net/unison/work-x11/unison-2.52.0/src/ubase/rx.mli File "/tmp/ocamlpp964623", line 1, characters 5-14: Error: Unbound module Compat408 gmake[1]: *** [Makefile.OCaml:456: ubase/umarshal.cmi] Error 2 gmake[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/wrkdirs/usr/ports/net/unison/work-x11/unison-2.52.0/src' ===> Compilation failed unexpectedly.

informational update: I got new build failures from the cluster, so the patch I provided is ineffective. Not being an ocaaml expert I'm not sure how to fix this at this point. I'll try to find other fixes, but I'm also quite open to suggestions and ideas.
NOTE: The latest version in net/unison (2.53.0) is not affected by this issue.
(In reply to Guido Falsi from comment #8) Is it easy to upgrade or need of new patches/refresh?
(In reply to Dutchman01 from comment #9) Not sure what you are asking. The situation is: the main port (net/unison) has been upgraded to 2.53.0 which is not affected. The main port should be backwards compatible down to 2.52.0, so there is no need to keep preserving old releases anymore. At present net/unison251 is still affected, and I have not been able to create a patch to fix it.
Closing this since it looks like the ocaml update "fixed" it. I noticed no unexpected failures anymore since then.
