Hi,

ocaml-dune does substitutions when building a project: https://dune.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#dune-subst
and unfortunately, it is based on the version control system, so
tarballs obtained from a github release lack the necessary information
for this to work.
Usually, projects using this trick publish tarballs with substitutions
applied:
https://github.com/LPCIC/elpi/releases/tag/v2.0.7
(here, elpi-2.0.7.tbz).
As a consequence, a package like elpi has to play sed tricks in its debian/rules to do this:
https://salsa.debian.org/ocaml-team/elpi/-/blob/master/debian/rules?ref_type=heads
and now, trying to update the elpi package, I get breakages because
another file needs this trick (something I can fix... after much poking around!) and because other things aren't built correctly. For example,
dune makes a META file which lacks the required "version = ..." line.
So I'm writing to this list either to rally people on looking for a
good solution or getting pointed to a fine manpage to read...
Did you try using the .tbz instead?
Cheers,
