[ocaml-platform] Dev Version as Package?

[Trevor Smith]

Thomas,

Consider two packages: lib and program. program depends upon lib.

opam pin add --dev-repo lib # This points to a git repo (no branch or
commit info)
opam install lib
# Make a new commit to lib and push it
# Lib is now one commit newer
# NB I am making _no_ changes to the internal opam repo
opam install program

lib does _not_ get recompiled.

Is that the information you wanted?

Also: I just tried opam update program and that also did not pick up the
fact that lib is git pinned.

Thoughts? Thanks.

Trevor
