sks-peer.spodhuis.org (serving clients as sks.spodhuis.org) is currently
reporting version 1.1.6+; if it stops reporting "+" then I discovered
something broke and reverted.
The code is the build-cleaner branch in my bitbucket clone:
https://bitbucket.org/philpennock/sks-keyserver-philp/branch/build-cleaner
There are two changesets:
* stop hard-coding gcc; ocaml on FreeBSD is built with clang and since
I switched sks to clang a year ago, I've had no more issues with
"badness" when telling sks to write stats via signal from cron.
* make it compile with ocaml 4.02.3
The dev mode forces warnings to be errors; since I was in here anyway,
and I have 4.02.3 as the system ocaml, I decided to hack away grossly to
get things working again.
The main issues appear to my ocaml-naive eyes to be that a bunch of
aliases in StdLabels are giving deprecation warnings, and the syntactic
sugar for setting a byte in a string via `<-` is not available with the
replacement BytesLabels module.
In the first few files, I only changed the places which had to be
changed to get the source to compile, deciding that if stuff like
String.length was type-happy then so was I. I got a little more
aggressive in later files.
A few apparently-unused functions got deleted, because they led to type
complaints. Strange that the only remaining functions to cause issues
were all unused. I'm hoping that there's no
reflection-constructing-function-names magic going on.
I see key retrievals happening, and uploading an existing key with no
changes works fine, so I'm just leaving this running to see what
happens.
(Before switching binaries, I stopped SKS, did a DB recover and took a
filesystem snapshot, so worst case scenario I restore the snapshot and
downgrade the binary to release, then catch up on some missing updates).
