Cannot install package via opam. #1

Open zoj613 opened 1 month ago

zoj613 commented 1 month ago

The README suggests that this project can be installed via opam, but opam install bytesrw errors with No package named bytesrw found. I searched on the opam site and this package does not show up in the search index. Is there something that can be done about this?

I'm afraid not. You have to wait. Hopefully this will happen at least by december. If you feel adventurous:

opam pin add git+https://erratique.ch/repos/bytesrw.git

Thanks for the suggestion. Since this project contains Gzip and Zstd compression/decompression in one package, i'll go ahead and install it via pinning.

PS: please also add CRC32C hashing if possible.

Do you have any library in mind ? Linux distribution support for this crc32c library seems spotty. It also feels a bit silly and quite a lot of work to have only support for that particular CRC32 polynomial.

There is rhash and gsutil>=4.4, but it appears they are just commandline programs. I am currently using https://github.com/mirage/checkseum but I'd much rather have most of the functionality I need under one package where possible.
