Description Alex Jordan 2013-11-05 20:09:28 UTC

Description of problem:
The ocaml-camlidl and ocaml-camlidl-devel packages do not contain a META file to allow it to be used with findlib (see http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/findlib.html). Findlib is "the de-facto standard for library management in O'Caml" and many open source projects depend on findlib in order to handle O'Caml library dependencies.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Version 1.05, Release 18.fc19

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ocaml-camlidl, ocaml-camlidl-devel, and ocaml-findlib packages
2. Run ocamlfind query camlidl


Actual results:
$ ocamlfind query camlidl
ocamlfind: Package `camlidl' not found

Expected results:
$ ocamlfind query camlidl
/usr/lib64/ocaml/.


Additional info:
A very basic META file to be installed at /usr/lib64/ocaml/META.camlidl would be something like this:
-----
name = "camlidl"
version = "1.05"
description = "A stub code generator and COM binding for Objective Caml (OCaml)"
directory = "."

archive(byte) = "com.cma"
archive(native) = "com.cmxa"
-----

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-11-05 21:49:41 UTC

Debian have:

# Courtesy of GODI 
description = "Stub generator"
version = "1.05"
directory = "^"
archive(byte) = "com.cma"
archive(native) = "com.cmxa"

which as the comment suggests comes from GODI.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-11-05 22:00:58 UTC

Fixed in Rawhide.

$ ocamlfind query camlidl
/usr/lib64/ocaml
$ rpm -q ocaml-camlidl
ocaml-camlidl-1.05-22.fc21.x86_64
