[bug#45762] [PATCH] ocaml: Add ocaml-down and ocaml-ocp-index

[Julien Lepiller <julien@lepiller.eu>]

Hi,

thanks for the patch!

Since it adds three packages, could you make this a series of three
patches, where each adds just one package? First, ocp-indent, then
ocp-index and finally down. Below are remarks that you should address in
these patches too :)

For each of them, the title of the patch should be "gnu: Add
<package-name>.", followed by a blank line and "*
gnu/packages/ocaml.scm (<package-name>): New variable.".

In the first patch of the series, could you add a copyright line for
yourself? It's fine to use a pseudonym if you don't want to use your
legal name.

Please add a comment explaining why you skip tests (could be "no tests"
if there is no tests) :)

I think the indentation is off here, but I'll fix it, don't worry.

Same here, there's one space too much below native-inputs.

Synpsis and description should not start with an article, so make
it "OCaml toplevel (REPL) upgrade" :)

I supposed you used the description from the opam importer? It doesn't
use the same syntax as guix, so you have to translate them usually.
Don't worry too much though if you can't make it, I'll take care of it
when applying your patch :)

Basically, don't start with a new line, links are not supported, and
generally use texinfo syntax.

Same question, why disable tests?

Unless there's a specific reason, I think #:package the usual way to do
it.

Remove the article, so "Simple tool to indent OCaml programs"

Sorry, my client is making a mess out of this. I'll make sure it looks
alright, don't worry about it.

Can you check the license and fill in the field please? #f is not
acceptable in Guix :)

My client is again making a mess out of this, but I'll fix this anyway,

Same, please specify the license.

Overall great contribution! Thank you again!
