[new release] oskel (0.1.0)

[craigfe]

Skeleton generator for OCaml projects. Wrote this for myself, but perhaps others can make use of it 🙂

• Project page: https://github.com/CraigFe/oskel

oskel is a tool for generating stubs of OCaml projects pre-equipped with the standard boilerplate:

• OCamlformat config file;
• Alcotest scaffolding;
• auto-generation of *.opam files via dune-project

It supports generating binaries with Cmdliner, Fmt and Logs support.

The resulting projects are compliant with dune-release lint.

This package fails on OCaml 4.05 and 4.06 with:

So it does, thanks!

This has bitten me here and in two other places (mirage/alcotest#197 and mirage/index#142) for trying to adopt (implicit_transitive_deps false) as a discipline. Perhaps @rgrinberg or @diml has an idea of how to fix this?

Maybe it is a missing explicit dependency on stdlib-shims?

Looks like that was it; thanks!

Looks good now, thanks
