[Caml-list] OCaml 4.02 || arm64 || ppc64le

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Just a friendly note for anyone who is trying to build OCaml or
OCaml packages for any or all of the following:

 - OCaml 4.02
 - i686
 - x86-64
 - arm64
 - ppc64le

I have been fixing many issues in the Fedora packages.  You can look
at the patches or build changes I have needed to apply in Fedora by
going to:

  http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/

and using the search box in the top right corner to search for the
package name
(eg: ocaml-mikmatch : http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ocaml-mikmatch.git/ )

Then look for the "master" branch, click "tree", and you will see the
build recipe we use (*.spec file) and the patches we apply.

Patches which are relevant for upstream are usually sent upstream,
*if* I can easily find someone who will receive them (especially
without too much hassle, such as requiring sign-ups).

Rich.
