Can we have a unified opam file next version? #322

Closed jonahbeckford closed 2 months ago

jonahbeckford commented 11 months ago

It is cumbersome to have one ocamlbuild.0.14.2/opam version for Unix and another ocamlbuild.0.14.2+win/opam for Windows with availability flags to choose between both.

Among other things, we've lost the ability to pin ocamlbuild to a specific version.

I unified them in my own custom repository at https://github.com/diskuv/diskuv-opam-repository/tree/main/packages/ocamlbuild/ocamlbuild.0.14.2%2Bwin%2Bunix . Can we consider doing the same when it comes time to publish ocamlbuild.0.14.3? Thanks.

For the record afaik none of the ocamlbuild maintainers were for the split. If I weren't undergoing a severe burnout at the time, from which i'm still recovering, I would've never accepted this in the repository.

As far as I know we have not received any proper PR on this here repository for this yet and your contribution would be most welcome, thanks a lot!

see https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/pull/23832 for the original addition
