Retiring opam2web in favor of ocaml.org #227
Comments
Thanks for starting this off, @sabine! We won't be able to fully switch off opam.ocaml.org for some years, since it's the default URL from which

It's also got the release key (#226) for opam. It's probably a good time to figure out if we want to centralise the key management a bit more (e.g., do we want to do this for compiler releases too?) |
Thank you @asvm, I wasn't aware of the release key and will make sure to take care with the redirects. I now have a much better understanding what will be left here at opam2web. 👍 |
Thanks @sabine & @avsm! On documentation, for the moment opam.ocaml.org show master's documentation. Would it be possible in ocaml.org to have several versions documentation, for example 2.0, 2.1, and master one before the move to odoc documentation? Otherwise, it is preferable to have last release documentation by default (even if it hides for some people the current one, but less people are concerned). For the release keys, I have a plan to generate new ones properly (signed primary & sub keys), and to register them in key servers.

Hey everyone,
opam
documentation to ocaml.org Move opam docs from opam.ocaml.org ocaml/ocaml.org#1367NOTE: In the patch for ocaml.org that I almost have ready, I am not hosting the legacy documentation for opam 1.1 and 1.2. The legacy documentation still exists at https://github.com/ocaml/opam/tree/1.2/doc/pages and https://github.com/ocaml/opam/tree/1.1/doc/pages.
Please speak up if you see anything that prevents us from retiring the website at opam.ocaml.org.
NOTE 2: hosting the markdown files of the opam documentation on ocaml.org is a temporary measure: as soon as odoc can build manuals, we move the opam documentation into an opam package - so that the documentation pipeline will build the opam docs, and so that documentation for all existing and future versions of opam can be easily integrated into ocaml.org or other websites.
Alternatives to hosting opam docs on ocaml.org:
opam2web
(however: shutting down the website entirely will place less burden on the ocaml.org infrastructure folks, allowing them to do more useful work!)The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
