I've had a go at making an SCL of the latest OCaml release, which seems to be working OK so far. I'd quite like to get some feedback, to see if I'm going about things the right way. The SPECS and SOURCES are on github: https://github.com/jonludlam/ocaml4021-buildroot and I've been building for CentOS 7 and 6 on copr: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/jonludlam/ocaml4021/
Comments and bug reports very welcome!
Hi Jon,
great to see a new SCL, good work! I have couple of notes for consideration..
* the collection name looks like it includes minor version of ocaml as well; might be correct, depending on ocaml versioning policy, but generally the version should only use the part of the version that likely changes if some incompatible change comes -- thus e.g. for python we only use two numbers (python27), not three (python274), since the latest bugfix release do not include incompatible changes and we can update them
* then I see couple of provides that do not include scl version, e.g.: ocaml(Ssl_threads) = 9925dd2c278261461f67ee0f74f4149a I guess it means that some non-SCL ocaml package could be satisfied with SCL package, which doesn't feel right. We rather require sclname in all provides somehow

Excellent! We're working out the details for getting the scl.org folks set up. Once we have the basics in place, it would be great to have this pulled in. In the mean time, we can certainly kick the packages around a bit. Thanks very much for this.
