[opam-devel] [ocaml-infra] Automatically synching GitHub pulls to OPAM

[Amir Chaudhry]

Does seem very useful and an easy way for package maintainers to see how proposed patches might affect them..

Naiive question (since I haven't tried this myself): Does the switch grab the latest trunk version and apply the patch or does it take 4.01.0 and apply it?  I notice that the PRs are all for trunk.

I guess what I'm curious about is whether different people will end up with different things depending on when they do the switch.  i.e if trunk has advanced in the meantime.

Best wishes,
Amir
