I almost never heared anything, except from time to time we get this occasional recurring discussion about providing silly wrapping Makefiles in packages.
Apart from the bootstrap issue I mentioned), dune and the opam .install
files work pretty well for me under pkgsrc; I've got the infrastructure
set up now so that I can basically just create a package by pointing out
where to download, which dune packages to build and which .install files
to use.
Like I said, there was a time when there was a lot of tweaking involved,
but hopefully the dust will settle now and updating will again be easy.
best,
Jaap
