Re: Packaging OCaml repositories that define multiple packages?

The importer will not support such a package. As you say, it wants to build them separately because they are separate opam packages. So, either we build them separately too, or we build all at once. If we build all at once, that's fine. You could name the package ocaml-mirage and not use any

Re: Packaging OCaml repositories that define multiple packages?

Thanks! Yeah, the alias solution was not pretty. Guess I'll use inherits and set the package argument. Julien Lepiller writes: > The importer will not support such a package. As you say, it wants to > build them separately because they are separate opam packages. So, > either we build them

Golang go-updates feature branch?

Hello! Now that our build farm is running smoothly, I propose we revive the practice of feature branches, when appropriate. The first one that I propose is a go-updates branch, where we update the Go compilers. This will affect ~500 packages. If I understand correctly, Go is a relatively

Packaging OCaml repositories that define multiple packages?

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,

adding motif to guix

Hi, motif was a major component of Unix for many years and it would be good to add the (now free software) motif to GNU Guix. Can package reviewers take a look of the patch in this issue https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59092 Thanks
