I thought it might be useful to split out the discussion on specific technologies. Vagrant has come up several times, and it provides a useful mechanism to centralise not only the compiler distribution, but also editor tools and support infrastructure.
We'd like to provide a Vagrant distribution for our upcoming FP course in Cambridge next term [1]. We already have a Vagrant VM that combines OCaml with the MirageOS here: https://github.com/mirage/mirage-vagrant-vms I'm planning to split it out to make an OCaml-only base image. If anyone has similar Vagrant setups that incorporate editor support and so on, I'd appreciate a pointer. We're going to license our scripts under the CC0 public domain to make them as easily cut-and-pastable as possible. There's a 'Vagrant Cloud' in beta that can host pointers to such images, and we're happy to host binary blobs, under a central 'ocaml' organisation if that's available.
