Hi,

> It seems that opam insists in downloading the archives from $URLTOREPO/archives. Why doesn't it use the url mentionned in $PACKAGE/url ? What's the rationale ?

OPAM servers work as proxy: when a client ask for a source archive, it first serves the one stored locally and if not present, look at the one upstream. So if you don't want to cache the archives, clean-up $URLREPO/archives. This can be used to build a stand-alone local repository which can be used without internet access.

See [1] for a discussion on that topic.

Best,
Thomas
