I am currently traveling, with only my phone for accessing email, so please
pardon top posting, HTML, etc. I also have the goal of bringing Infer to
Fedora, so I am happy to make common cause with you.

Are you aware of my efforts to build an OCaml spec generator?  See
https://pagure.io/opam2rpm. It isn't finished, but it is useful for getting
started.

I can be more helpful next week when I am home & have my beloved Fedora
desktop in front of me. :-)
