From ab98d847d237af3cd0e46edef42218be65cfc98f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emilio Jesus Gallego Arias Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2020 17:52:18 +0200 Subject: [build] Split stdlib to it's own opam package. We introduce a new package structure for Coq: - `coq-core`: Coq's OCaml tools code and plugins - `coq-stdlib`: Coq's stdlib [.vo files] - `coq`: meta-package that pulls `coq-{core,stdlib}` This has several advantages, in particular it allows to install Coq without the stdlib which is useful in several scenarios, it also open the door towards a versioning of the stdlib at the package level. The main user-visible change is that Coq's ML development files now live in `$lib/coq-core`, for compatibility in the regular build we install a symlink and support both setups for a while. Note that plugin developers and even `coq_makefile` should actually rely on `ocamlfind` to locate Coq's OCaml libs as to be more robust. There is a transient state where we actually look for both `$coqlib/plugins` and `$coqlib/../coq-core/plugins` as to support the non-ocamlfind plus custom variables. This will be much improved once #13617 is merged (which requires this PR first), then, we will introduce a `coq.boot` library so finally `coqdep`, `coqchk`, etc... can share the same path setup code. IMHO the plan should work fine. --- .../12567-dune+split_stdlib.rst | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/changelog/11-infrastructure-and-dependencies/12567-dune+split_stdlib.rst (limited to 'doc/changelog') diff --git a/doc/changelog/11-infrastructure-and-dependencies/12567-dune+split_stdlib.rst b/doc/changelog/11-infrastructure-and-dependencies/12567-dune+split_stdlib.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..6fe6f62faa --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/changelog/11-infrastructure-and-dependencies/12567-dune+split_stdlib.rst @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +- **Changed:** + Coq's configure script now requires absolute paths for the `-prefix` + option. + (`#12567 `_, + by Emilio Jesus Gallego Arias). + +- **Changed:** + The regular Coq package has been split in two: coq-core, with + OCaml-based libraries and tools; and coq-stdlib, which contains the + Gallina-based standard library.
