This command-line tool generates an OPAM repository that contains a set of compiler switches that apply patches from GitHub pull requests to OCaml.
For example, here is a shortened list of outputs:
$ opam switch --all
system C system System compiler (4.01.0)
-- -- 3.11.2 Official 3.11.2 release
-- -- 3.12.1 Official 3.12.1 release
-- -- 4.00.0 Official 4.00.0 release
-- -- 4.00.1 Official 4.00.1 release
-- -- 4.01.0 Official 4.01.0 release
-- -- 4.02.0dev+pr2 Parse -.x**2. (unary -.) as -.(x**2.). Fix PR#3414
-- -- 4.02.0dev+pr3 Extend record punning to allow destructuring.
-- -- 4.02.0dev+pr4 Fix for PR#4832 (Filling bigarrays may block out runtime)
-- -- 4.02.0dev+pr6 Warn user when a type variable in a type constraint has been instantiated.
-- -- 4.02.0dev+pr7 Extend ocamllex with actions before refilling
-- -- 4.02.0dev+pr8 Adds a .gitignore to ignore all generated files during `make world.opt'
You can experiment with the lexing PR by running:
open switch 4.02.0dev+pr7
eval `opam config env`
ocamllex ...
You will need Core, Lwt and the GitHub API library.
opam install core lwt github
make
make install
By default, it installs into the local OPAM binary directory, and if OPAM is
not installed then a PREFIX variable will install it.
