dev meeting 20231004
Attendees: Rudi, Riku, Ali, Raja, Niclas, Marek
Rudi: Working on improvements on how we interface with the solver
Marek: fixing the multi-repo work
OPAM does not do any deduplication, there is just a global opam-repository. In dune-land we use a specific version of the repository per project, so that would lead to a lot of duplication.
We need the user to provide us a version for pinned packages, and then we can remove all the other candidates from the list given to the solver. This way it will force that version.
Rudi will post an example in the Github issue.
What is it for and why doesn't @install do the same? dune install is not supposed to be used in OPAM files, it just directly copies files into the OCaml installation but doesn't let OPAM track what was installed.
Potential improvements: Print a warning when installing into an OPAM switch. Or use OPAM instead.
