Thanks

This breaks infer which requires extlib and base64. Extlib is a transitive dependency of javalib.2.3.6 which infer uses, and infer itself uses base64.3.1.0. Would it be possible to revert this change?

[avsm]

hm yes, this should be reverted. in the case of module namespace clashes, the conflict should be at the point of linking, not the point of compiling the modules involved.

[dinosaure]

About the last version of infer, they didn't use extlib anymore and a patch was send to update OPAM file.

@dinosaure maybe @avsm and/or @jvillard can explain this in more detail. from @jvillard comment:

Extlib is a transitive dependency of javalib.2.3.6 which infer uses, and infer itself uses base64.3.1.0

[dinosaure]

Ah, I see ... too many base64 impl.
