Dear people, the current state: - MirageOS3 was advertised as "working with OCaml 4.03 upwards" - mirage-xen works as of now only with 4.04.2 - OCaml 4.06 was released with a major breaking change (safe-string)
From some discussion on IRC, the following seems to be consensus (please discuss if you've other opinions): - Mirage supports 4.04.2 upwards (this is true for the mirage tool itself as well as libraries only used with mirage, other libraries used elsewhere as well (such as ipaddr, uri, cstruct, tls, etc.) may want to support more OCaml versions - travis CI in the repositories should test 4.04.2 and 4.06 (to avoid having a huge blowup of options) - NB: if a repository doesn't rely on external C code, there's no real need to test it with all the linux distributions available. 4.03 may still work, but we're not putting much effort into maintaining compatibility --> we can safely bump to 'available: [ ocaml-version >= "4.04.2" ]' in opam. hannes _______________________________________________ MirageOS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.xenproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mirageos-devel
