Subject: [Caml-list] opam switch recompilation with today's updates
Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2018 10:39:54 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000001d47298$64b13ec0$2e13bc40$@metastack.com> (raw)
The ocaml package has been updated in opam-repository in PR12832*. Since all
other packages depend on it, when you next run `opam update`, opam is going
to want to rebuild all the packages in your switches. The compiler itself
will not be rebuilt as part of this, "just" packages.
The ocaml package is a virtual package which probes the configuration of the
underlying OCaml compiler (either a system compiler, an opam-compiled OCaml,
or an opam-compiled patched compiler).
The reason for the change is to fix the creation of switches for compilers
which don't support shared libraries. The problem was that a script in the
ocaml package depended on the Unix library to probe the output of `ocamlc
-where`.
Sorry for the CPU-hogging inconvenience this will cause - it's a package we
aim to leave alone most of the time!
David
