  • Add package stanza
  • Add x-generated-by header
  • Move "opam" sub field to the package fields. This is what will enable the correction rules I suppose.

If we generate x-generated-by: "dune-<version>", aren't we going to create some noise? I.e. everytime we upgrade dune, everybody will have to commit a new opam file.

Would it make sense to have the dune-version as it it in the dune-project file?

I think this bit can always be discovered by looking at the source of the package. Unlike the the dune version used to generate the file

I got rid of the generated header.

Agreed that the x-generated-by is a bit ugly, and so unnecessary.

@andreypopp Am I correct in thinking that you do not want the generation of opam files? you simply want to do without them? If so, then we currently don't have a way to do that.

I believe this PR is ready now. It's now possible to work without opam files as well. Doc updates are pending

@avsm @jonludlam review would be appreciated.

This looks good to me.

Might be worth noting what we've still got to do before we can generate dune's opam file completely:

  • homepage
  • bug-reports
  • maintainer
  • build

of these I think build is going to be the most awkward.

homepage
bug-reports
maintainer

I propose that these fields be just set for the project itself.

build

I've sent an email regarding this one.

There's now support for those 3 fields. Now we just need to fill in a default for build when possible.

@diml @jonludlam this is ready for another round of review:

  • I removed expected files and promotions
  • I've added support for filling in the build field
  • I've added support for an opam.template file as Jeremie requested

The default should indeed be to not generate the files.

This opam 2.1 fix to dynamically query opam files is not coded yet and years out from being something we can depend on (since we have to support opam 2.0 for ages yet). So making the default to not generate means that 99% of users will now have to type it into their dune-project files and keep it there for some time. But I can live with that...

ghost commented May 6, 2019

We don't need to wait for years. As long as dune-release can ask dune to generate the opam files at release time, then users can start deleting opam files from their repos as soon as opam supports the feature. When doing so, they will prevent their packages from being dev-pinned by opam 2.0 users. However, it seems to me that this choice should be left to individual maintainers.

avsm commented May 6, 2019

Yes that's true -- and it de-risks the feature in the short term by not generating files by default should there be some oddness that we haven't found yet. I'm ok with the default for generation being off.

Okay, I think this is ready. @diml I ended up going with the simple string concatenation with the original template. You are right that it simplifies the implementation.

There is one last detail to take care of: before dune would read the package version from the opam files and store this version in generated META files and use it to expand %{version:foo}. Now that dune generate opam files, it no longer does that, which seems natural. However, currently dune-release prepend the version to the various opam files. That means that META files produced by dune will no longer contain version information and %{version:foo} will now be the empty string.

The quickest fix is to change dune-release so that it appends a (version ...) field to the dune-project file. /cc @samoht @NathanReb, does that seem good to you?

That seems reasonable to me although I wonder if a command line option on the dune side, which dune-release would use to pass the version wouldn't be a better or at least a less hacky solution.

ghost commented May 6, 2019

@NathanReb when would dune-release pass this option to dune?

Which makes me thinks: we need to make dune subst append the (version ...) field as well to the dune-project file. Otherwise we'll have the same issue when the package is dev-pinned.

@NathanReb

I was thinking when generating the .opam file but that won't do the trick for the %{version:foo} unless we also change the generated build field of the opam file so that version is passed to the build command but we can't really do that since we want to allow custom values for this field.

It seems pretty fragile anyway so we indeed can't do that.

If dune subst does append the (version ...) field to the dune-project then dune-release could use that instead of appending the field on its own which feels better.

Would that work or am I missing something again?

ghost commented May 6, 2019

Does dune-release call dune subst though? I thought it was editing the files on its own. Maybe that's something that should change though, so that the behaviors could be better aligned.

Now that dune generate opam files, it no longer does that, which seems natural.

Did I break this accidentally somewhere? Seems like dune can still read the version information from the opam file.

I will merge this PR to prevent rebase headaches down the line, but we'll need to solve this issue before releasing.

CHANGES:

- Restricted the set of variables available for expansion in the destination
  filename of `install` stanza to simplify implementation and avoid dependency
  cycles. (ocaml/dune#2073, @aalekseyev, @diml)

- [menhir] call menhir from context root build_dir (ocaml/dune#2067, @ejgallego,
  review by @diml, @rgrinberg)

- [coq] Add `coq.pp` stanza to help with pre-processing of grammar
  files (ocaml/dune#2054, @ejgallego, review by @rgrinberg)

- Add a new more generic form for the *promote* mode: `(promote
  (until-clean) (into <dir>))` (ocaml/dune#2068, @diml)

- Allow to promote only a subset of the targets via `(promote (only
  <pred>))`. For instance: `(promote (only *.mli))` (ocaml/dune#2068, @diml)

- Improve the behavior when a strict subset of the targets of a rule is already
  in the source tree for projects using the dune language < 1.10 (ocaml/dune#2068, fixes
  ocaml/dune#2061, @diml)

- With lang dune >= 1.10, rules in standard mode are no longer allowed to
  produce targets that are present in the source tree. This has been a warning
  for long enough (ocaml/dune#2068, @diml)

- Allow %{...} variables in pps flags (ocaml/dune#2076, @mlasson review by @diml and
  @aalekseyev).

- Add a 'cookies' option to ppx_rewriter/deriver flags in library stanzas. This
  allow to specify cookie requests from variables expanded at each invocation of
  the preprocessor. (ocaml/dune#2106, @mlasson @diml)

- Add more opam metadata and use it to generate `.opam` files. In particular, a
  `package` field has been added to specify package specific information.
  (ocaml/dune#2017, ocaml/dune#2091, @avsm, @jonludlam, @rgrinberg)

- Clean up the special support for `findlib.dynload`. Before, Dune would simply
  match on the library name. Now, we only match on the findlib package name when
  the library doesn't come from Dune. Someone writing a library called
  `findlib.dynload` with Dune would have to add `(special_builtin_support
  findlib_dynload)` to trigger the special behavior. (ocaml/dune#2115, @diml)

- Install the `future_syntax` preprocessor as `ocaml-syntax-shims.exe` (ocaml/dune#2125,
  @rgrinberg)

- Hide full command on errors and warnings in development and show them in CI.
  (detected using the `CI` environment variable). Commands for which the
  invocation might be omitted must output an error prefixed with `File `. Add an
  `--always-show-command-line` option to disable this behavior and always show
  the full command. (ocaml/dune#2120, fixes ocaml/dune#1733, @rgrinberg)

- In `dune-workspace` files, add the ability to choose the host context and to
  create duplicates of the default context with different settings. (ocaml/dune#2098,
  @TheLortex, review by @diml, @rgrinberg and @aalekseyev)

- Add support for hg in `dune subst` (ocaml/dune#2135, @diml)

- Don't build documentation for implementations of virtual libraries (ocaml/dune#2141,
  fixes ocaml/dune#2138, @jonludlam)

- Fix generation of the `-pp` flag in .merlin (ocaml/dune#2142, @rgrinberg)

- Make `dune subst` add a `(version ...)` field to the `dune-project`
  file (ocaml/dune#2148, @diml)

- Add the `%{os_type}` variable, which is a short-hand for
  `%{ocaml-config:os_type}` (ocaml/dune#1764, @diml)

- Allow `enabled_if` fields in `library` stanzas, restricted to the
  `%{os_type}`, `%{model}`, `%{architecture}`, `%{system}` variables (ocaml/dune#1764,
  ocaml/dune#2164 @diml, @rgrinberg)

- Fix `chdir` on external and source paths. Dune will also fail gracefully if
  the external or source path does not exist (ocaml/dune#2165, fixes ocaml/dune#2158, @rgrinberg)

- Support the `.cc` extension fro C++ sources (ocaml/dune#2195, fixes ocaml/dune#83, @rgrinberg)

- Run `ocamlformat` relative to the context root. This improves the locations of
  errors. (ocaml/dune#2196, fixes ocaml/dune#1370, @rgrinberg)

- Fix detection of `README`, `LICENSE`, `CHANGE`, and `HISTORY` files. These
  would be undetected whenever the project was nested in another workspace.
  (ocaml/dune#2194, @rgrinberg)

- Fix generation of `.merlin` whenever there's more than one stanza with the
  same ppx preprocessing specification (ocaml/dune#2209 ,fixes ocaml/dune#2206, @rgrinberg)

- Fix generation of `.meriln` in the presence of the `copy_files` stanza and
  preprocessing specifications of other stanazs. (ocaml/dune#2211, fixes ocaml/dune#2206,
  @rgrinberg)
