Subject: [Caml-list] Ubuntu + Batteries ... missing (?) Batteries_uni module
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 19:06:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5272AA1B.1040403@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

My colleague recently updated his Ubuntu box and, after upgrade, he noticed that he cannot compile my Ocaml programs, which rely on Batteries.

I looked into the matter and noticed a version mismatch

  libbatteries-ocaml-dev version 1.4.3-1 in Debian 8 (my machine)
  http://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/libbatteries-ocaml-dev/filelist

  libbatteries-ocaml-dev version 2.0-1 in Ubuntu 13 (his machine)
  http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/amd64/libbatteries-ocaml-dev/filelist

Compilation failure is related to the fact that

  Batteries_uni

module is not present.

  # This:
  #
  #   apt-file search batteries_uni.cmi
  #
  # does not return anything on Ubuntu 13 whereas on Debian 8 it returns:
  #
  #   libbatteries-ocaml-dev: /usr/lib/ocaml/batteries/batteries_uni.cmi

so he is getting:

  Error: Unbound module Batteries_uni

I understand that the versions of the library are different (1.4.3-1 vs 2.0-1) so the API can be incompatible,
although missing Batteries_uni module is surprising because it is not declared to be removed from the latest Batteries version:

  http://ocaml-batteries-team.github.io/batteries-included/hdoc/Batteries_uni.html

I would like to ask whether this situation is correct (and I should not rely on Batteries_uni module anymore) or it is a ommision (breakage) in Ubuntu package?

Thanks in advance for the help.
