Description Olivier Placais 2021-01-02 22:35:38 CET

Description of problem:
I have one PC in Mga 8 and another one in mga 7.
When I try to make a bidirectionnal synchronisation I have on error message.
Server: Fatal error during unmarshaling (input_value: ill-formed message),
possibly because client and server have been compiled with different versions of the OCaml compiler.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 in mga 7 unison version has been compiled with ocalm 4.7.1-2
 in mga 8 unison version is compiled with ocalm 4.10.0-3

it seems that the OCalm versions after 4.8 are not compatible with previous version.

Is it possible to package the same version of unison and ocalm in mageia 7 and mageia 8 please.

How reproducible:
Make a bidirectional folder synchronization beetween PC (one in mga7 th other one in mga8).

Thank you for the report. To get round the problem temporarily, rsync should help; but be very careful with the parameters.

Reclassifying this as Cauldron since the problem is introduced there; but might be resolved by an update to Mageia 7, so leaving that in place.

The SRPM has no evident maintainer, so assigning this globally; CC'ing danf as its last committer.

Mageia 7 is end of support.
Sorry we did not have resources to fix this before.
