             Summary: OCaml: Build and test as part of our regular cadence
                 Key: THRIFT-4041
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4041
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OCaml - Library
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0
            Reporter: James E. King, III
            Priority: Minor


THRIFT-2364 provides an alternate build environment for the OCaml thrift bindings.  It seems to work but I have no way to test it.  I recommend that we add OCaml to the docker image and to the Appveyor environment and that we build OCaml through our CMake build process, and then provide "make cross" testing of OCaml.  Without these things, changes like THRIFT-2364 cannot be tested through CI.

Alternatively, if there is not enough demand for OCaml, we can move this from lib/ to contrib/, and then changes like this can be merged in without needing to go through the CI gate as maintenance would be handled externally.   Given there is very little OCaml use evidence in Jira, I'll have to talk to the project coordinator to see what we want to do here.
