What can I do to help?

[Jacques Carette]

Dear metaocaml-hackers,

Now that ocaml-3.11.0 is essentially on our doorstep, I would really
like to have metaocaml in sync with that. I am actively using metaocaml
in 2 projects now, and that is likely to increase in the future.

If another set of hands for re-merging basic metocaml with 3.11.0 would
help, I can do that.

Jacques

[Walid Taha]

Dear Jacques,

Thank you very much for this offer.

Cristiano: At this point, what do we need to do to bring MetaOCaml up to speed?

Walid.

As usual, it's a matter of taking the diffs to the ocaml cvs
repository and apply them to the metaocaml repository, keeping an eye
on conflicts arising.
Hopefully, the changes do not affect metaocaml, but no silver bullet
there.

Is the metaocaml repository publicly available? Given the tag for the
ocaml cvs against which metaocaml was last synchronized, then if I got
access to the metaocaml repo, I could try this myself.

I must admit that I would want to use MetaOCaml_309_alpha_30 as my
'base' and keep concoqtion in a branch.

How about downloading the source from the web-page to keep things simple?

Sure, I can start from that.

Jacques

[Jacques Carette]

I have alpha_30, as well as full source trees for 3.09.1 and
3.11.0_rc1. I have gotten myself a list of patches to 'make' alpha_30
out of 3.09.1. I am now applying these, by hand, to 3.11.0_rc1.

I would estimate that I am about 1/3 done, although I think some of the
thorniest hand merges (like .depend) are behind me. I am also having to
be careful about dynamic loading, since that is now a feature of ocaml,
and I have to make sure that I do not include any of that from the
alpha_30 branch.

FYI, this is not the same as the current state of svn.

Is there any way you can get me a set of (context) diffs from alpha_30
to current svn? Even if there are glitches, that may still help me
figure out some oddities.

Note that right now I only intend to merge alpha_030 and ocaml 3.11.
Any other features from current svn [if I get the diffs or direct
access] will have to be done later; I will however consider backporting
bug fixes.

Jacques

[Walid Taha]

Jacques: I expect that all the differences are bug fixes.

Ron: Just to be sure, you are not looking at the concoqtion branch, right?
If we are sure about that, then it would probably be a good idea to make the
latest that's in the svn available to Jacques.

Also, please note that the internal version contains a script that needs to be
run before making a public release. I'll dig that info up as soon as I am back
(and I we are not in a hurry to make a public release at this point).

Emir: Can you confirm were the latest version should be, and where the
concoqtion branch lives?

Walid.

[Ronald Garcia]

Just to clarify, I'm looking at the ometa repository, as opposed to
the ometa-concoqtion repository.

By comparing the the release date of alpha_30 on the web page
(February 3, 2006) to the repository log , it looks like r5633
corresponds to alpha_30 (although the log for r5636 on Feb 6 mentions
polishing for distribution). After that, there are a few more
changes to the repository spread out over time.

If this information jives, I can make a tarball of the latest and
deliver it to Jacques.
