So I have progress. the arm64 pic/pie issues are due to a binutils snapshot. Filed bug upstream, and working around it by using older binutils. https://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=7585 For ppx-* stuff I have rebased their 4.03/4.04 branches on top of what is in unstable and uploaded into ubuntu, things are progressing now. For the s390x errors I had to cherrypick a fix that landed in 4.04.3 or some such, to resolve segfaults around Sets. Things will be looking really good, really soon. http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/html/html/ocaml.html still work in progress as launchpad is busy with archive rebuilds and is very slow at the moment. js-of-ocaml i've tried to package slightly newer version - 2.8.4, because the most recent one needs this new build system which is not packaged. It seems to compile with 4.04 better, but then I hit: ocamlfind ocamlc -w +A-4-7-9-37-38-41-44-45 -safe-string -package lwt,tyxml.functor,reactiveData,react -I . -I tyxml tyxml/tyxml_cast_sigs.mli -o tyxml/tyxml_cast_sigs.cmi File "tyxml/tyxml_cast_sigs.mli", line 26, characters 48-63: Error: Unbound module Html_types Not sure what to do there. I guess ideally jbuilder needs to be packaged if it is not already and move to 3.0.0 of js-of-ocaml. I think I will end up removing it in Ubuntu for now, to get 4.04 to migrate. Hopefully I can finish 4.04 migration this weekend / early next week. -- Regards, Dimitri.
