opam is a source-based package manager. It supports multiple simultaneous compiler installations, flexible package constraints, and a Git-friendly development workflow.
When running opam lock, the host-arch and host-system packages are included in the lock file. I believe they shouldn't.
In my specific case I ended up with host-arch-x86_64 and host-system-other being listed. I removed them by hand from the lockfile so that my colleagues on other arches/systems would still be able to use the lockfile.
