  • Tezos development booms over Solana, Polkadot and Elrond
    8 projects | /r/tezostrader | 16 Dec 2022
    To be completely fair, they also did the same thing on the Tezos side by including 4083 commits from the tezos/opam-repository repo, since this is just a fork of of the official ocaml/opam-repository repo.

  • How to install OCaml in WSL?
    3 projects | /r/ocaml | 26 Dec 2020
    According to this github comment you need to disable sandboxing by "using the --disable-sandboxing option for opam init in a fresh opam initialisation or via an opamrc. For an initialised opam, you can't use this option, but change the configuration directly in the config file by removing / empty wrap-*-command fields."
