It's been a while since 2.0, and batteries has had a bunch of improvements
that should be shared with a wider audience.

More features, more bugfixes, more batteries.

Thanks a lot, I'm a batteries user, and this is a time saver and well made library.

I also like it a lot:
- it is a drop-in replacement for the standard library
- it has an exhaustive and very good documentation cf.
   http://ocaml-batteries-team.github.io/batteries-included/hdoc/

PS: I am highly biased ;)

You gave the old link for the documentation, v2 is here :

http://ocaml-batteries-team.github.io/batteries-included/hdoc2/

(About the documentation, I didn't find a direct link to the `module 
types` from the index page)

Everyone is ! Only the users or mainteners can give a feedback…

Seems like the Batteries need bisect to compile.
bisect-1.3 does not compile out of the box under Cygwin with protz ocaml.

It would be nice if Batteries would be available for beginners using MS/Windows.
In particular because some people recommand Batteries as a starting
point lib for beginning.

[Gabriel Scherer]

I don't think Batteries needs bisect to compile -- I regularly build
Batteries on systems without bisect. That should be an optional
dependency (using for testing and development purposes), but it's
fairly possible that the buildsystem displays a not-nice warning when
it's missing that you considered an error.

It's not only a "not-nice warning",
nothing is build at all.

$ make
Build mode: shared
ocamlbuild -no-links src/batteries.cma src/batteriesHelp.cmo
src/batteriesThread.cma META src/batteries.cmxs
src/batteriesThread.cmxs
ocamlfind: Package `bisect' not found
''ocamlfind ocamldep -package bigarray,num,str -modules
src/batInnerPervasives.ml > src/batInnerPervasives.ml.depends
Exit code 127 while executing this command:
  ''ocamlfind ocamldep -package bigarray,num,str -modules
src/batInnerPervasives.ml > src/batInnerPervasives.ml.depends
Makefile:71: recipe for target `all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 127


$ tree -fi | grep 'cmi$'
# there is nothing
$ tree -fi | grep 'cmo$'
# there is nothing
$ tree -fi | grep 'cmx$'
./_build/myocamlbuild.cmx
$ tree -fi | grep 'cma$'
# there is nothing
$ tree -fi | grep 'cmxa$'
# there is nothing


If the upstreams don't have a MS/Windows test environment, I'm
volunteer for "minimal reports": I mean whenever they want they can
send me a snapshot (or a link to it, or scm or whatever), I run `make`
and send them back the error message.

I can compile it myself I really don't mind, but doing this way is not
very wellcoming for beginners.

This is the harmless warning Gabriel was talking about.

This is another thing.
What happen when you run this command by hand ?
Do you have ocamlfind installed and within reach ?
(I guess no since error code 127 usually means 'command not found').

$ ocamlfind ocamldep -package bigarray,num,str -modules

# no output (nothing on stdout, nothing on stderr)

$ echo $?

What are the output of "which ocamlfind" and "ocamlc -where" ?

If you are using cygwin on windows you might not have strace, but
maybe there's an equivalent tool?
Otherwise, is you ocamldep executable?

Re: [Caml-list] [ANN] Batteries 2.1

[Gabriel Scherer]

I don't want to interrupt rixed helpful and appreciated efforts, but
maybe this conversation could be moved onto the Batteries issue
tracker?

PS: I'll take this opportunity to mention the slides on Batteries I
wrote for an OCaml Users Paris Meeting at the beginning of the month.
(Temporary URL, unfortunately) http://is.gd/pSXTwD . And mention that
Batteries welcome contributions from anyone.

I don't think this has to do with bisect. I don't have bisect installed
either and Batteries 2.1 built just fine (except for the ocamlfind
messages, but they were harmless).

(On a related note, Batteries 2.1 is in Arch Linux AUR now)

When I click on the 2.1 link on the batteries homepage I am sent to 
<https://forge.ocamlcore.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=880> and this
page displays a red "permission denied".

As a batteries admin, I get that too; I think it's an issue with the forge
(maybe permissions on the 'newsadmin' project?).  I'll see what I can do
about the batteries homepage.
