Unfortunately it is not possible to compile camlp4 with OCaml >= 4.08.
But some well known packages depend on this preprocessor. E.g. :Haxe, lablgtk2 (therefore also: Unison and Coq).
I don't see that these projects will be migrated to camlp5 or ppx in the near future. Therefore there are only 2 options from my point of view:
1. OCaml-4.07 and Ocaml >= 4.08 in [EXTRA]. 2. removal of Haxe, lablgtk2, Unison and Coq.
I prefer 1. What do you think?
I'm a heavy unison user so I definitely prefer option one to option two though if that's too heavy a maintenance burden I'd perfectly understand dropping the relevant packages to the AUR. That's while we're waiting for Debian/upstream porting those projects to camlp5, of course. :) Cheers. -- Gaetan
