This subject came up at todays FESCo meeting. There continue to be a
bunch of broken dependencies in rawhide on these packages.
Is there anything we can do to assist you in getting things back in
shape? I'd be happy to fix packages, but I don't know Ocaml, so it
would need to be a clear fix. ;)
Maybe there should be a new tag in Koji for fixing up all of the Ocaml
packages like was was done for Python 2.6 recently (dist-f11-python)
or Perl 5.10 for F-10 (dist-f10-perl). Is there an easy way to make
packages tagged with dist-f11-ocaml yum installable so that testing
the packages is easier?
