Dear Release Team,

I would like to request a transition slot for ocaml 5.4.1.

I've uploaded it to experimental, and it builds successfully on
all architectures so far:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=ocaml&suite=experimental

I recompiled the OCaml world with it:

http://ocaml.debian.net/transitions/ocaml-5.4.1/

At most 430 source packages are involved. A binNMU will suffice for
most of them.

Only 9 relevant packages are missing from this rebuild:
- llvm-toolchain-{14,18,19,21,22}: as usual, too big for my workflow...
- frama-c, ocaml-gavl, pplacer, sks: not in testing

Control: tags -1 moreinfo

llvm-toolchain-21 and llvm-toolchain-22 are currently unable to migrate
since llvm-toolchain-22 has failing autopkgtests and -21 now has a hard
dependency on -22. This has to be fixed first.

Tagging as moreinfo until this transition can be started.

Any news on that? llvm-toolchain-22 has migrated.

We are still blocked on llvm-toolchain-19. See #1125251 and #1113237.

unlocking transitions blocked for months is a maintainer upload of
llvm-toolchain-19.

It would be appreciated if an LLVM maintainer could do that.

In case anyone wants to suggest removing LLVM 19 instead:
Updating Emscripten to LLVM 21 is non-trivial, not a short-term solution.

It's been 2 weeks now, and I saw no progress on this matter.

What's happening?

That got uploaded. It hasn't migrated yet, but I think we can start ocaml already.

Please go ahead.

The "suggested binNMUs" link in [1] is broken, and I can't remember who is
running it now. Do you have an updated link?

Cheers,

No, I've never used this in practice. I've removed the link.

I've scheduled all binNMUs for this transition.

Looks like nobody is running that anymore?

Anyway ocaml migrated, so this is done. Closing.
