>Description:
net/mldonkey doesn't build any longer.

It is since OCaml got updated.  It compiles only with a specific revision range of the ,well, compiler  (http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=32707)
>How-To-Repeat:
Sync to the latest pkgsrc and build mldonkey
>Fix:
The only way I can think of now is to keep a specific revision of ocaml in pkgsrc and use that for mldonkey ?

I don't know if there is such a thing as temporary installing a particular revision of the toolchain if it is missing or the one present is known to not be compatible.

(I was looking in the nifty pkgsrc guide but was a little thrown off by how the bookmark table lists two entries for each chapters :])


Alternatively, as per the link enclosed in the problem full description, an updated build presumably containing fixes is about to be cut upstream.
