This is the first I've heard of this. I can't fix stuff I don't know about! I've just looked at the link you posted, and it seems a bit "biased" to OCaml packages because of the way that Fedora packages encode OCaml dependencies into RPM dependencies, resulting in many ocaml(Stdlib_*) dependencies which are essentially saying the same thing. There are many packages in the list which are orphaned, especially all the camlp4 deprecations[1]. Those should be ignored IMO. As for the rest, not sure I can action anything unless I can get a list of actually broken packages which are not orphaned. But don't do anything until the current rebuild is out of the way. About the current rebuild: I finally fixed a bunch of problems with my rebuild script (which I'm writing at the same time, see [2]) - but now Koji seems to be actually broken ... Rich.
