Description
Please upgrade ocaml to 4.04.0. A patch has been included, which simply bumps the revision number, fixes the checksum and renames one file (README is now README.adoc)
A separate set of patches for camlp5 and the like are forthcoming, but this can be applied first.

I have (in parallel) also submitted an update to camlp5 that should be applied at the same time. I'm unaware of any others, though likely an update to ocaml-camlp4 would be useful as one is available.

Ocamlbuild was split out from OCaml in 4.03, so I’ll have to test all OCaml ports before committing this. Ugh.
comment:6 Changed 7 years ago by pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)
If I can be of some help in speeding this up let me know.
comment:7 Changed 7 years ago by pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)
Howdy! It is now the case that one would want to update to OCaml 4.05.0 instead.
Also, unless we do this update, I can't fix other things. For example, the latest Coq, which I've been wanting to update to forever, requires a much newer OCaml. Could we do the update?
We'll def. need an ocamlbuild package, and probably to make sure that ocaml-findlib is up to date since ocamlfind is needed by so many ocaml packages.

Please re-add the epoch line to your patch and update to the latest version if applicable. Otherwise, no one will see this update.
comment:9 Changed 7 years ago by pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)
I don't know what the "epoch" line means in this context?
And the real issue right now is that larryv correctly states that we need to fix a couple of other things in parallel.
comment:10 Changed 7 years ago by mf2k (Frank Schima)
Once added, the epoch line can never be removed. It is our method of allowing downgrades.
comment:11 Changed 7 years ago by pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)
As I said, I don't know what an epoch line means. This makes it harder for me to interpret what you are suggesting.

FYI, I've submitted a large-scale update to the OCaml system in Ticket #55358. When it is applied, this ticket can be closed.

Does 4.04.0 introduce any incompatibilities (compared to 4.02.2) that we should know about?
