Hello all,

I am interested in taking ownership of the unison package [1]. The most recent 
discussion on this topic of which I'm aware is from 2018-05 [2], which was 
attempting to bring all of the various unison versions [3-5] packaged in Fedora 
into a single spec file. That never happened, and those packages were retired 
in 2020-09.

Since then, as of version 2.52 (2022-03), unison has become considerably more 
forward and backward version-compatible, not only between clients and servers 
of different unison versions but also when compiled with different OCaml 
compiler versions, as explained in the manual [6].

I have already done some test builds of this new package version on F38-F41 [7] 
and EPEL 9 [8] COPR and tested it on the latter. Debian stable already appears 
to have unison v2.52, and testing has v2.53, so this should also work well with 
Debian [9].

Thoughts?

Matthew
