I figured that for the course of Gabriel's experiment, we might as well keep it as simple as possible. The only churn that casual users will see is a slightly more verbose 'opam update' as the switches come and go. If it transpires that the full force of Mantis bugs move over to a system like this in the future, then I agree that we should maintain a separate remote instead. -anil _______________________________________________ Platform mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ocaml.org/listinfo/platform
