OPAM is a pleasure to use, and packaging could hardly be easier. Mike On Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 7:40 AM, Thomas Gazagnaire wr= ote: > I'm very happy to announce the beta release of OPAM (0.9.1). OPAM is a pa= ckage manager for OCaml to install libraries and tools from source archives= . It supports multiple simultaneous compiler installations, flexible packag= e constraints, and a Git-friendly development workflow. > > The goal of this beta release is to formally introduce OPAM to the commun= ity, to gather some general feedback on the documentation and tools and dou= ble-check that we've not forgotten some useful features. I would also like = to use that opportunity to make an official call to maintainers: if you hav= e developed packages which are already in OPAM do not hesitate to claim the= ir ownership and to improve their description - if your packages are not ye= t in, it's time to start packaging them! > > OPAM is developed by OCamlPro[1] and has been in alpha release since June= 2012. It is already quite mature and has gained some nice momentum (+40 co= ntributors, +300 packages). OPAM has been initially funded by Jane Street[= 2] and the DORM EU research project, and it has received continuous help an= d resources from OCamlLabs[3]. > > The source code of OPAM is available on Github: > * installer: https://github.com/OCamlpro/opam > * packages and compiler descriptions: https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam-re= pository > * website: https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam2web > > The documention: > * install instructions and tutorial are available http://opam.ocamlpro.co= m/ > * the main source of documentation is 'opam --help' or 'opam --= help' > * user manual: https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam/raw/master/doc/dev-manual= /dev-manual.pdf > > You can report issues on github bug tracker: > * https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam/issues > > The next steps for us is to focus on improving the package descriptions q= uality and the global consistency of https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam-repos= itory. We will gladly accept any kind of help and support from the communit= y to do this!
