Fireworks and things

Thanks to some targetted optimisations in the script which manages Relocatable OCaml’s various branches, I’d vastly improved the turn-around time when making changes to the patch-set and propagating them through the various tests and backports. On Tuesday night, the entire set of branches was green in CI (they’re sat here with green check marks and everything). All that was to be needed on Wednesday was to quickly update the opam packaging to take advantage of Relocatable-awesomeness and plumb it all together. The 2022 version of the packages for Ljubljana I knew contained a hack for searching a previous switch, but I’d already investigated a more principled approach using opam’s build-id variable, so it would just be a matter of plumbing that in and using the cloning mechanism already in that script.

The week that was - 2025 w27

Rather varied week this week. A number of our EEG interns have started their work with us for the summer, with two nice projects falling under my direct supervision, with Lucas and Jeremy. It’s great to get to watch people start their first forays into the world of hacking on OCaml, once the customary “I was a baby when you started maintaining OCaml” comments et al are out of the way 😂 It’s also great to get to see the excitement, and reassuring to know that it is still an exciting thing to get to do for new people too!
