Writeup policy for linux distro support

Open tmcgilchrist opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Currently we support whatever is listed in https://github.com/ocurrent/ocaml-dockerfile/blob/master/src-opam/distro.mli#L93-L169 and is being used by CI applications like ocaml-ci and opam-repo-ci.

However some distributions present challenges like:

  • Oracle Linux, not providing packages for many common conf-* packages in opam-repository
  • OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, support in opam https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues/5565

It would be useful to explicitly state what we do support and what we don't (plus why we don't support something).
