Opam short download link #2728

Open rjbou opened 2 weeks ago

rjbou commented 2 weeks ago

We'd like to have a short link for opam install script. For the moment the install instruction are:

bash -c "sh <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ocaml/opam/master/shell/install.sh) --version 2.2.1"

We're thinking of adding opam.ocaml.org/install.sh. Do you have plans for an installer for ocaml.org?

@rjbou, do you mean this:

bash -c "sh <(curl -fsSL https://ocaml.org/install.sh) --version 2.2.1"
kit-ty-kate commented 1 week ago

something like that yes

I don't see a need for additionally having https://ocaml.org/install.sh (this could in fact lead to conflicts in the future, as it's not referring to which tool is being installed).

Providing https://opam.ocaml.org/install.sh sounds great to me. Another workable alternative would be https://ocaml.org/install-opam.sh.

Providing https://opam.ocaml.org/install.sh sounds great to me.

that was done in https://github.com/ocaml-opam/opam2web/pull/241 btw. We'll update our documentation to reflect that. I'll also send a PR to update ocaml.org in a minute

Of course, I didn't mean https://ocaml.org/install.sh directly, as it is to install opam, not OCaml itself ^^. Under ocaml.org link, it would be as proposed https://ocaml.org/install-opam.sh, or https://ocaml.org/install/opam.sh if there is a plan to have several tool download links on ocaml.org for example.
