https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D272067 --- Comment #1 from Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org> --- As an information: I'm aware of bug report updating ocaml to newer versions directly, but they tend to be old ones, with stale patches, or spread across a bunch of PRs. I tried starting my work from one of those but was unable to get anything working. Either patches don't apply, or require major rework. In the other = case patches were spread on many PRs and I ended spending a lot of time trying to apply them in the wrong order, with a lot of manual intervention required. So I decided to start from scratch with a more incremental approach. My plan for the future is to proceed incrementally. Once 4.08 is in the tre= e, some adjustment work will be required on dependencies. Some require more wo= rk to be updated, some others have gained new requirements not present in the ports tree, so ports for new libraries need to be added. Once that is done, jumping to ocaml 4.10 or newer should be easier. I started from this very minor upgrade to try to kickstart this process. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
