There was a problem hiding this comment.
I haven't looked closely as my nix is fairly weak, but if it works then that's enough for me. Having these checks in CI would be amazingly useful of course. That could be done in a subsequent PR.
cc @anmonteiro just so he's aware of this.
Feel free to proceed with this PR anyhow.
We add 3 new dev shells for OxCaml: - bootstrap-ox: For testing the bootstrap process with OxCaml - ox-minimal: For building dune with OxCaml and running the OxCaml test-cases - ox: For attempting to build a dev shell with OxCaml In order to do this, we need to fetch the latest patches from the OxCaml opam repo, however not all of them can be applied to the package versions found in nixpkgs. Because of this we cannot build a full devShell, but we can get pretty close. The File nix/ox-patches.nix deals with the fetching and application of the patches.
