Concepts

An opam-monorepo project uses 3 components in the source tree:

  • a set of opam files containing specifications about the dependencies (for example, a dependency on lwt >= 4.0.0)
  • a lockfile (with extension .opam.locked) containing references to exact dependencies (for example, lwt = 4.2.1) and how to get them (URLs, hashes, etc.). It also contains information about transitive dependencies, not just the ones mentioned in opam files.
  • a duniverse folder, which contains the sources for all the packages mentioned in the lockfile

The two important commands are:

  • opam monorepo lock, which will read the Opam file and compute a solution using the Opam repository and the Opam solver. It will create or update the lockfile with this solution.
  • opam monorepo pull will read the lockfile, download the dependencies, and unpack them into the duniverse/ folder.
