A reason why a package can't be used as input to the solver. e.g. it is for a different platform, or conflicts with a user-provided constraint.
val candidates :
t ->
OpamPackage.Name.t ->
(OpamPackage.Version.t * (OpamFile.OPAM.t, rejection) result) list
candidates t name
is the list of available versions of name
, in order of decreasing preference. If the user or environment provides additional constraints that mean a version should be rejected, include that here too. Rejects are only used for generating diagnostics reports. Candidates whose "availablity" field isn't satisfied must be rejected here.
val user_restrictions :
t ->
OpamPackage.Name.t ->
OpamFormula.version_constraint option
user_restrictions t pkg
is the user's constraint on pkg
, if any. This is just used for diagnostics; you still have to filter them out yourself in candidates
.
val filter_deps :
t ->
OpamPackage.t ->
OpamTypes.filtered_formula ->
OpamTypes.formula
filter_deps t pkg f
is used to pre-process depends and conflicts. pkg
is the package which has the dependency f
. For example, you can use this to filter out dependencies that are only needed on Windows if the platform is Linux.
