[PATCH 00/12] Add ocaml-merlin. |
Date: |
Mon, 28 Dec 2020 13:40:17 +0100 |
Hi Guix,
This adds ocaml-merlin, a development tool for OCaml (and dependencies).
Some notes and questions:
- ocaml4.07-merlin is already available (version 3.2.2). This version has not
been updated (but changed to inherit from ocaml-merlin).
- There are many ocaml4.07-* packages in Guix. The reason for this is that
some packages need to be built with OCaml 4.07 but some newer versions of
libraries do no longer support OCaml 4.07 (or the old version of dune),
requiring older versions of the same packages. See also commit message
9ada1555.
This is quite cumbersome as two trees of OCaml packages need to be
maintained.
A nice solution would be to upgrade packages requiring OCaml 4.07 to also
build with the default OCaml (4.11). Packages that are not dependencies of
other packages that require OCaml 4.07 seem to be: `bap`, `ocaml-earley` and
`pplacer`. Maybe this should be opened as an issue?
- Some OCaml libraries have dependencies in `inputs` that seem to be required
from packages using the libraries. E.g. `ocaml-yojson` depends on
`ocaml-biniou`. Packages depending on `ocaml-yojson` need to manually add
`ocaml-biniou` to their inputs. Would it work/make sense to add
`ocaml-biniou` to `propagated-inputs` of `ocaml-yojson`?
- Test for ocaml-merlin (version 3.4.2) work. This resolves issue #34412
(alltough ocaml4.07-merlin still can not run tests).
Thanks!
