Package: ocaml-nox Version: 3.11.2-1 Severity: normal ocamlbuild enters an infinite loop if a symlink creates a cycle in the source directory.
To produce the problem: 1. cd to the source directory of a project using ocamlbuild 2. do "ln -s . loop" 3. run ocamlbuild Ironically, I discovered this while trying to prevent *my* OCaml code from exhibiting this same problem. When I created a cycle to test it, I couldn't build the program any more :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ocaml-nox depends on: ii binutils 2.20.1-11 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii gcc 4:4.4.4-2 The GNU C compiler ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libncurses5-dev 5.7+20100313-2 developer's libraries and docs for ii ocaml-base-nox [ocaml-bas 3.11.2-1 Runtime system for OCaml bytecode ii ocaml-interp 3.11.2-1 OCaml interactive interpreter and Versions of packages ocaml-nox recommends: pn camlp4 <none> (no description available) ii file 5.04-2 Determines file type using "magic" Versions of packages ocaml-nox suggests: pn libgdbm-dev <none> (no description available) ii ocaml-doc 3.11-1 Documentation for Objective Caml ii tuareg-mode 1:2.0.1-1 An emacs-mode for ocaml programs -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
