MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ocamlnet [2]:

Broken for close to 1 year due to not being compatible with repo's
ocaml 5, first published in May 2023.

Upstream seems to be abandoned (developer only attends to their other
projects).

There has been a work-in-progress, partially viable port to ocaml 5,
contributed to upstream in the form of a merge request 1.5 years ago,
but it has been abandoned and ignored since. [a]

That unfinished patch does not make this buildable. Also, now the code
does not support the current gnutls, needed for https support in this
library.

Downstream dependents have either moved on to other solutions, or got
discontinued 3+ years ago. (All AUR reverse dependencies have been
submitted for deletion.)

I think it's best to delete this package.
