https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D218333 --- Comment #52 from hannes@mehnert.org --- I agree this issue should be closed, since OCaml in ports is now 4.05.1, and more recently OCaml 4.11.1 has been released. I'm curious about the status of OCaml packages in FreeBSD, I see that some libraries were imported to compile certain projects, but some of these ports have been removed since then (e.g. lang/opa astro/planets). Now, upgrading the OCaml compiler nearly always leads to an exp-run which is costly and work-intensive to fix. Would you be interested in a cleanup run = of the FreeBSD ports that remove all the dangling libraries? From my perspecti= ve, useful OCaml ports are those which install actual binaries (coq, opam, mldonkey, ..). Most users (and sysops) are interested in some OCaml binaries, most OCaml developers will need a recent OCaml compiler anyways, and then use opam (devel/ocaml-opam) to install dependent libraries. What do you think? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
