Subject: Packaging OCaml repositories that define multiple packages?
Date: Sun, 08 Jan 2023 15:04:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <867cxxxgfv.fsf@riseup.net> (raw)
I'm going through my MirageOS commits for what is hopefully the last
time before I send the patches and I realized that a problem that I
thought was isolated is a lot more widespread than I thought.
As an example look at https://github.com/mirage/mirage/
It defines functoria, functoria-runtime, mirage, and mirage-runtime.
It is possible to build all 4 as one package.
The opam importer seems to not be able to handle situations like this,
since it defines a new package for each sub-package.
How should I proceed? I definitely want to merge all redundant packages
into one, but then what? How should the package description reflect
this? What should the package be named when it corresponds to 4 OPAM
packages at once?
For now I defined a few aliases for cases like this, but I'm not sure if
this is ideal. They look like this (made up but possible example):
(define ocaml-mirage ocaml-mirage-runtime)
