Motivation for this change
The initial motivation was to fix
parmap
with OCaml 4.09. At version 1.1,parmap
depends ongraphics
which is shipped with OCaml < 4.09; when distributed as a separate library, it is built by dune 2 and seems to impose to dependent libraries to use dune 2 as well. This is why I wanted an easy way to select the version of dune.FTR, here is a possible way to fix
parmap
after this PR:Updating
parmap
(as done in #82585) is a much simpler way to solve this particular issue.Nonetheless, I think that getting rid of
buildDune2Package
is a good idea.Things done
