Since about two weeks I am trying to compile BATSH . Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience with OCaml nor do I plan to dive into it. All I want is getting BATSH to run, but opam keeps fighting me on that and I don’t know what to do. Here is the output from my most recent try of compiling the sof…

@darrenldl Out of curousity I tried to compile your version of Batsh with your version of Dlist inside Docker and I ended up with the following: File "lib/winbat_format.ml", line 44, characters 16-36: 44 | if bare || ((String.get ident 0) = '%') then ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ E…

Which version of OCaml are you on? The Docker image used by Travis CI is running 4.09, the version on my computer is 4.08.1, so it should build on either of the two versions. But I’m not sure about older versions otherwise.

I was using 4.08.1 because I have read somewhere that that is the version you are using.

No clue then, but doesn’t matter too much since you’ve got a static binary copy anyway. Also just heads up, there’s a v0.0.7 release with version string patched in, but otherwise not much is changed.

For now I created the following, but I will probably make some editions. We will see how using Batsh will go from now on. [image] Akito13/docker-batsh BATSH in a Docker container. https://github.com/darrenldl/Batsh - Akito13/docker-batsh

Sadly, the author still didn’t merge PRs. Not to say anything about publishing the new version in opam…

He sadly does not seem interested. Maybe in the worst case, we need to push a new opam package, even if this would be kind of bad.

[image] darrenldl: He also stated he’s happy to let someone/some group to take over the maintenance of Batsh as well. Maybe it would make sense to move the repo somewhere (GitHub creates redirects for that) or give some people access to maintain it. That way it is somewhat more “legitimate” t…

[image] Leonidas: That way it is somewhat more “legitimate” than just any fork. On the other hand, if the fork is “approved” and just plain better, plain improved, it will quickly be a valid and legitimate replacement. Happened to a LOT of open source projects, before.

I am happy, because it removes one more item (once released on opam) from this list: The end of Camlp4 - List of packages that still use it.
