[CentOS-devel] xapi for centOS 6.6

I tried out building https://github.com/xenserver/buildroot on CentOS 6.6


It builds around 300 packages and then it just gets stuck while building
ocaml-core-kernl-111.28.00-1.el6 .
build log: https://gist.github.com/gautammaloo/92a6199ee4ed100b1b92

I was looking for more upstream version of ocaml-core-kernel for el6. As
you were saying Jonathan is already working on that
http://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/jonludlam/ocaml402/epel-6-x86_64/
.

I am hoping if ocaml4.02 is ready by May,2015  I could use to build xapi
for CentOS 6.6. Meanwhile I can try out
https://github.com/xenserver/buildroot on CentOS 6.5.

Best regards,
Gautam Malu
