The release of
ocaml.5.3.0
introduces a new transitive dependency for the compiler:ocaml
->ocaml-base-compiler
->ocaml-compiler
. Consequently the solution is to markocaml-compiler
as a toolchain element and compute the transitive dependencies to be able to fetch the binaries before installing. It also creates a newconfig.status
file to make the target understand the compiler is already installed (file required by5.3.0
).Fixes #11309 (with the deep help of @Leonidas-from-XIV and @art-w)
(Take the opportunity to remove the unused
ocaml
function at the same time).This PR will require to release a new version of Dune to make package management work with it.
@rgrinberg should we start to log this kind of changes in a lock file, it would be important for this release. WDTY?
