[ocaml-platform] Dev Version as Package?

[Thomas Gazagnaire]

> I tried setting up the "option 1" -- using a repo url. This works fine for clean installs, however it does not work for my use case for updates. I didn't realize until I tried it out that this won't update upon any dependent installation. As noted by Louis, pinning also does not reinstall from a repo url when a dependent install happens -- it only updates the meta-data.

did you run `opam update -u <package>`? If a or dev or pinned package changes it should normally trigger a recompilation of all the reverse dependencies. how did you specify the packages in your repo?
