Arch Linux User Repository

oops, I mistype the version number. Now, it's fixed. sorry guys

The last commit downgrades to version 2.0.0, however the commit message says upgrade to 3.0.0. Typo?

Unfortunately ocaml-merlin requires yojson < 2.0.0

See https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/commit/63cbf66956bbd16de6ff7ad951d4f06aa64758d4

So I have to revert the last commit.

Updated.

• Since we're not using ocaml 4.07, installing ocaml-seq is not required.
• 2.0.0 doesn't depend on biniou and easy-format anymore.

This builds for me & ydump test tool runs:

Also there's a brand new 2.0.0 version from two weeks ago. Maybe that would build more successfully?

The build fails for me for a different reason than what was reported by others in the past:

I managed to fix error below by:

1. Updating ocaml-easy-format separately. Now I was getting ocaml-biniou errors
2. Even though ocaml-biniou was already at the latest version, I rebuilt it
3. Build of ocaml-yoson went through

Build fails with

reinstalling packages ocaml-biniou and ocaml-easy-format solved problem...
