<div dir="ltr">I'm trying out 1.2.0-beta4 and wondering what is the correct workflow for local development packages.<div><br></div><div>Say I have a local package `foo` that is not defined in any repository. I put an opam file in the root of the package's source directory, then did `opam pin add foo ~/code/foo`. However, opam doesn't detect the opam file, and instead says "package not defined, would I like to define a new package". At this point you have to answer yes, and opam creates a new opam file, which is not what I want.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Even if the package is defined in a repository, I want opam to detect the opam file in the source directory, not that defined in the repo.</div><div><br></div>The recent platform blog post says opam pin "will generate a new package on the fly by detecting the presence of an opam file within the source repository itself". Where should this opam file be?<div>
<br></div><div>Note I'm trying to simplify my previous workflow, where I would put the opam file in the source directory at the path "opam/packages/foo/foo.master/opam". Then I would first add this as a repo and also pin to this directory. I'm trying to avoid the first part; I shouldn't have to add a repo per package.</div>
