linuxbrew support? #55

Closed struktured closed 4 years ago

struktured commented 8 years ago

I would love to add linuxbrew support to the list. This would prevent me from ever needing sudo when setting up ocaml. Seeing as you already support homebrew, is linuxbrew doable?

dsheets commented 8 years ago

Support is possible. You will need to modify https://github.com/ocaml/opam-depext/blob/master/depext.ml to add a case for linuxbrew to the various matches. Also, the linuxbrew package names would need to be added to the opam-repository for packages with depexts.

Is linuxbrew really production-ready?

struktured commented 7 years ago

@UnixJunkie it is close in quality to the original brew, but is a bit less maintained. I stopped having to use linuxbrew so I'm less concerned about this issue than I used to be. Feel free to close with wontfix status.

External dependencies handling is integrated in opam (since 2.1.0-alpha). If this is still an issue, please open one in opam bugtracker. Thanks!
