Package: src:sks

Severity: normal

Hello,
While rebuilding all packages with a SVN snapshot of OCaml (version
3.12.0+dev17, revision 10268), your package failed to build on amd64.
Relevant part:
> ocamlopt -I lib -I bdb -I +cryptokit -ccopt -Lbdb -dtypes -ccopt -pthread
> -warn-error A -inline 40 unix.cmxa str.cmxa bdb.cmxa nums.cmxa bigarray.cmxa
> cryptokit.cmxa -c channel.ml
> File "channel.ml", line 212, characters 2-36:
> Warning 7: the method read_string is overridden.
> File "channel.ml", line 253, characters 2-159:
> Warning 7: the method read_string is overridden.
> File "channel.ml", line 278, characters 2-145:

> File "channel.ml", line 1, characters 0-1:
> Error: Error-enabled warnings (3 occurrences)
> make[1]: *** [channel.cmx] Error 2

The full build log is available at:

As said in the attached patch:

I do not tag this bugreport with patch because sks doesn't build with
it, but I submit it nonetheless for future reference.

Subject: [PATCH] Add 250_ocaml312
OCaml 3.12 introduces a new warning for undeclared overridden methods,
that makes sks FTBFS because of error-enabled warnings. This patch
should fix the issue. However, it seems that camlp4o doesn't cope well
with the new syntax (see [1]), so sks doesn't build yet with this
patch.
Note: I believe this is the "right" fix, but it is not
backward-compatible with OCaml < 3.12. The only backward-compatible
fix I can think of would be to disable error-enabled warnings
(i.e. compile without -warn-error A).
