Dear Arlen,
The OPAM archives generated by `opam admin make` should be
independent of the version of the compiler that has been selected.
They are placed in the archives/ directory of the remote so that you
can confirm this.
How is the issue manifesting that you are seeing -- is it definitely
failing to retrieve the package in just one switch? If this is the case,
then an issue on https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues would be
appreciated, with details on `opam remote` so that we can see how
you are accessing the local package.
OPAM should support complete offline access (assuming that package
builds themselves do not depend on the network), so the model you
want should work with OPAM 1.2.2.
regards
Anil
