Recently, ocaml was updated to 3.12. This has serious impact on all ocaml-dependent ports, whether library or application. I would like to have had a ports/UPDATING entry, please add one. We should consider bumping PORTREVISION for all ocaml-dependent ports, but at the very least for ocaml-lablgl and ocaml-lablgtk2. There may be more fallout elsewhere. One case study is net/unison232, pav@ forwarded a tinderbox failure to me: - net/unison232 itself failed after ocaml 3.12 changes. I've fixed this with a patch that has gone into unison240 (net/unison) upstream (already committed). - net/unison232 in default configuration uses ocaml-lablgtk2, which I had compiled/installed with the previous unison version, and subsequently failed: | ocamlopt -I lwt -I ubase -I +lablgtk2 -c /var/tmp/usr/ports.cvs/net/unison232/work/unison-2.32.52/uigtk2.ml | File "/var/tmp/usr/ports.cvs/net/unison232/work/unison-2.32.52/uigtk2.ml", line 1, characters 0-1: | Error: /usr/local/lib/ocaml/lablgtk2/gdk.cmi | is not a compiled interface | gmake: *** [uigtk2.cmx] Error 2 This can be fixed by recompilation of $LOCALBASE/lib/ocamls/lablgtk2/gdk.cmi (in ocaml-lablgtk2), but for the lablgtk2 change to succeed, we need to rebuild ocaml-lablgl BEFORE (else ocaml-lablgtk2 fails to configure). I was tempted to change these two ports myself, but let's rather go for a complete solution. Summarized, this is needed to get net/unison232 to compile again after the ocaml 3.X -> 3.12 update: - reinstall ocaml-lablgl (please bump PORTREVISION to assist) - reinstall ocaml-lablgtk2 (please bump PORTREVISION to assist) - patch unison232 (already committed) Fix: See "Description" section above.

Hi! I bumped up revisions on all ocaml libraries. Sorry, that I missed it, I didn't expected them to break ABI in a minor update. :-( WRT UPDATING -- why do you think it's needed? The should be no manual steps involded in update. What do you want to see there? Thanks! -- Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

It might be useful to warn users that their ocaml applications outside the ports tree require manual intervention. What I cannot currently judge for lack of OCaml experience is if we've been facing API changes or also ABI changes, meaning that: I know that *compilation* of OCaml-written unison 2.32 failed with the new compiler due to incompatible .cmi files, but I can't tell if that would have affected the older executable, too. If existing executables stop working, we need to advise users in ports/UPDATING. If the issue was only at compile-time, i. e. an API/compile-time linking issue, then we don't need a ports/UPDATING issue.
