opam pin installation not working for me #29

Closed gmcninch closed 4 years ago

I've reported this also here: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/ocaml-vdom-and-opam/5170

But here is what I see when i try to install via "opam pin":

george@calliope:~$ opam pin add ocaml-vdom git://github.com/lexifi/ocaml-vdom.git Package ocaml-vdom does not exist, create as a NEW package? [Y/n] y [ocaml-vdom.~dev] synchronised from git://github.com/lexifi/ocaml-vdom.git [WARNING] Failed checks on ocaml-vdom package definition from source at git://github.com/lexifi/ocaml-vdom.git: error 57: Synopsis and description must not be both empty ocaml-vdom is now pinned to git://github.com/lexifi/ocaml-vdom.git (version 0.1)

Sorry, no solution found: there seems to be a problem with your request.

[NOTE] Pinning command successful, but your installed packages may be out of sync.

It seems at first to just complain of a meta-data related warning, but nevertheless the installation fails in the end.

Actually, poking around a bit more I don't think the "Warning" was the explanation for the build failure. I can't even manage to get gen_js_api to install.

I guess I'll leave this report here, just as an FYI, though.
