What about including in `ocaml/opam-base` a "partial" OPAM repository
with only the (some) compilers and initialize OPAM with it. Then
`ocaml/opam` (or CI tools based on `ocaml/opam-base`) will replace the
"partial" OPAM repository with the real one. If done correctly, they
shouldn't have to recompile OCaml.
Yes I would really like this! This could be easily done by running a
git filter-subtree on the existing checkout to mirror something that
containers only the compilers and a very small set of packages.
As a matter of experiment, I just set up:
https://github.com/OCamlPro-Henry/opam-compiler-repository
I haven't setup any cron job to update it, but running manually the
script 'update.sh' from within the repo should be enough.
HTH,
Grégoire
