Install OCaml without Opam
I don't think we need to force the installation from Opam. Because esy (and maybe others?) provides a really clean workflow for OCaml and Reason. So I think it's a good reason to rewrite all of this script to compile OCaml from source. What do you guys think about this?
CC: @vic @schutm
I'd be in favour to not force the installation of opam. Make opam (and/or esy) a separate plugin and let the user decide (e.g. I also use yarn in stead of npm). I do see the benefits of esy, allthough I still don't understand why it's npm based and why it's using package.json (I'm in a dual ocaml/bucklescript environment).
Best regards, --Martin
It's also possible to use esy.json instead, though it's not well known...
Anyway, I will rewrite it and push to any branch (except master). By the way, we will need to create many OCaml related plug-ins if we do this. So I think it might be better to create an organization and manage them in one place for easier management.
@vic What do you think about transfer this repository?
@imbsky, sure!. I see you've already pushed to asdf-ocaml/asdf-ocaml, that's fine, should I simply archive this repo and link to yours? Do you still need me to transfer it?
Do you mind sending a PR to asdf-plugins to add your repo there?
@vic I thought it would be better to archive because exist users might update this plugin with the premise that uses Opam. There may be a bit confusion.
Do you mind sending a PR to
asdf-pluginsto add your repo there?
Sure!
