Is it possible to install ocaml-top with recent ocaml compilers as stated in opam file?

Open MdeLv opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

It's not possible to install ocaml-top.1.1.5 with ocaml.4.14.0:

$ opam install ocaml-top
[ERROR] Package conflict!
  * No agreement on the version of ocaml:
    - (invariant) → ocaml-base-compiler = 4.14.0 → ocaml = 4.14.0
    - ocaml-top → ocaml < 4.02.4
    >>> You can temporarily relax the switch invariant with `--update-invariant'   <<<
  * No agreement on the version of ocaml-base-compiler:
    - (invariant) → ocaml-base-compiler = 4.14.0
    - ocaml-top → ocaml < 4.02.4 → ocaml-base-compiler < 3.07+1
  * Missing dependency:
    - ocaml-top → ocp-build < 1.99.8-beta
    no matching version
  * Missing dependency:
    - ocaml-top → ocaml < 4.02.4 → ocaml-variants → ocaml-beta
    unmet availability conditions: 'enable-ocaml-beta-repository'

No solution found, exiting

While opam file seems fine (ocaml 4.02.0 or newer):

(...)
depends      "ocaml" {>= "4.02.0"}
             "jbuilder" {>= "1.0+beta7"}
             "ocp-pp" {build}
             "lablgtk" {>= "2.16.0"}
             "conf-gtksourceview" {= "2"}
             "ocp-indent" {>= "1.4.0"}
             "ocp-index" {>= "1.0.0"}

Using suggested --update-invariant forces to downgrade to ocaml.4.10.2 which is not what I want:

$ opam install ocaml-top --update-invariant
The following actions will be performed:
  ∗ install   conf-gtk2                     1                [required by lablgtk]

  ↘ downgrade ocaml-config                  2 to 1           [required by ocaml]
  ↘ downgrade ocaml                         4.14.0 to 4.10.2 [required by ocaml-top]

  ∗ install   lablgtk                       2.18.13          [required by ocaml-top]
...
  ∗ install   ocp-index                     1.3.4            [required by ocaml-top]
...
  ↘ downgrade pcre                          7.5.0 to 7.4.6   [uses ocaml]
...
  ∗ install   ocaml-top                     1.1.5

How to fix that? Is it an ocaml-top issue or an opam issue (because opam says the contrary of what is in the opam file : "< 4.02.4")? Thanks.

ocaml.4.10.0

$ opam install ocaml-top

Same error with ocaml.4.09.1 and 4.08.1 .

Finally, it (still) works with 4.07.1:

$ opam install ocaml-top
[NOTE] Package ocaml-top is already installed (current version is 1.1.5).

The programmer should find the cause of that type error.

If you don't want people to use your software with recent compilers, what do you think about removing it from the opam repository?...

I don't know why but ocaml-top now launches with Ocaml 4.14.1 .

It looks like version 1.2.0 (Feb 9, 2023) fixed the trouble, isn't it ? Thanks.
