I'm afraid of having to maintain and keep in sync two OPAM files, the one in the sources and the one in the OPAM package repository. Is there a clever way to do this?

[UnixJunkie]

I don't know one way. I would say just maintain the one in your source tree and when you do a new release copy paste it into the opam repository.

topkg can help automate that process. It would currently require switching to vanilla ocamlbuild or jbuilder to take full advantage though, if I understand correctly.

I'm also in favour of including an opam file and have done so in my PR #6 . @xavierleroy note that the opam file in the source repository is considered to be the "source of truth" and it is up to whoever edits it in opam-repository to make sure that the change indeed makes it to upstream (this repository).

Now that we use Dune, the .opam file is automatically generated.
