I'm afraid that this package is not allowed. vascom and I have discussed about this in the last year. It bundles many libs, and it installs ocaml packages to user directory which is explicitly disallowed. I don't know why you want to package it, but if I were you I would stop doing that since it makes my system totally a mess. By the way this package should be named opam but not ocaml-opam. I agree with Christopher. See more about http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries (In reply to Christopher Meng from comment #1) vascom and I have discussed about this in the last year. > ... and it installs ocaml packages to user directory which > is explicitly disallowed.

We have for example cabal for Haskel in Fedora which doew simular things for Haskell? Yes but we also have cabal2rpm ;) Thr main issue is not this, please package the missing dependency of this package first, then unbundle all external libraries. I just deleted my opam.spec and left something here: BuildRequires: hevea BuildRequires: ocaml BuildRequires: ocaml-camlp4-devel # Bundled list, also not available in Fedora # # BuildRequires: ocaml-cmdliner from http://erratique.ch/software/cmdliner # BuildRequires: ocaml-dose3 from https://gforge.inria.fr/git/mancoosi-tools/dose.git/ # BuildRequires: cudf/ocaml-cudf from https://gforge.inria.fr/git/mancoosi-tools/cudf.git/ ------------------------------- install -pDm644 shell/opam_completion_zsh.sh %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/zsh/site-functions/_opam install -pm644 shell/opam_completion.sh %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/bash_completion.d/ Thanks. I've submitted a review request for one of the dependencies - ocaml-cmdliner. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1172771 I'll likely work on the others too. I've made a review request for OPAM without the bundled dependencies here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1185099 It depends upon a few other packages, linked to from that ticket. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1501992 *** |
