  • Bug#1105466: not-ocamlfind: FTBFS with make --shuffle=reverse: make[1]:

    From Lucas Nussbaum@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 13 21:20:12 2025

    Source: not-ocamlfind
    Version: 0.14-1
    Severity: minor

    Hi,

    GNU Make now has a --shuffle option that simulates non-deterministic ordering of target prerequisites. See https://trofi.github.io/posts/238-new-make-shuffle-mode.html and also previous work in Debian by Santiago Vila: https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/make-shuffle/

    This package fails to build with make --shuffle=reverse.
    This is likely to be caused by a missing dependency in
    debian/rules or an upstream Makefile.

    More information about this mass bug filing is available at https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS/Shuffle

    Relevant part (hopefully):
    make[1]: Entering directory '/build/reproducible-path/not-ocamlfind-0.14' Makefile:20: update target 'papr_official.exe' due to: target does not exist ocamlfind ocamlc -I local-packages/ocamlfind/src/findlib findlib.cma -package str,unix,compiler-libs.common \
    -linkall -linkpkg papr_official.ml -o papr_official.exe
    File "papr_official.ml", line 1:
    Error: Cannot find file "findlib.cma"
    make[1]: *** [Makefile:20: papr_official.exe] Error 2 shuffle=reverse


    The full build log is available from: http://qa-logs.debian.net/2025/05/05/shuffle/reverse/not-ocamlfind_0.14-1_unstable_reverse.log

    If you reassign this bug to another package, please mark it as 'affects'-ing this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects
