Hello, Here is the latest Caml Weekly News, for the week of December 11 to 18, 2012.
1) new OPAM command-line interface 2) RTT (Run-time types) online toplevel for trying 3) Other Caml News ======================================================================== 1) new OPAM command-line interface Archive: <https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2012-12/msg00043.html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Thomas Gazagnaire announced: In order to prepare the beta release of OPAM (which should hopefully be announced at the end of next week if everything goes well), I've been working on improving its command-line interface (which is currently a bit had-hoc). Thanks to the great Daniel Bunzli's cmdliner[1] library, I now have a nice -- but incompatible -- command-line interface in the 'cmdliner' branch[2]. The main changes are: * an uniform help interface, where all flags and parameters are correctly documents * no more -long-option, only -s or --long * 'opam remote' is still there for convenience but will be deprecated; use 'opam repository' instead * use of sub-sub-commands when necessary (ie. 'opam repository add') * use non-ambiguous prefix of sub-command instead of the subcommand (ie. 'opam repo' or 'opam rem') * AND: a nice 'opam --help' and 'opam <subcommand> --help' output I'm quite keen to get community feedback on this new command-line. Feel free to comment here, or to to use the issue tracker[3]. Cheers, Thomas [1] <http://erratique.ch/software/cmdliner> [2] git clone -b cmdliner git://github.com/OCamlPro/opam.git [3] <https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam/issues/157> ======================================================================== 2) RTT (Run-time types) online toplevel for trying Archive: <https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2012-12/msg00061.html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Tiphaine Turpin announced: Sorry for spamming again on RTT (Run-time types for OCaml). This is just to announce an online trying version (obtained by patching the Try OCaml website). The current distribution (0.4) also improves the initial release significantly.
