Re: [MirageOS-devel] Dependencies for project built on Mirage

Any solution to pinned packages + config.ml? Is there some basic reading I should do?

Great, thanks for that. I actually need to pin a bunch of packages (e.g. https://github.com/mirage/mirage-bootvar-xen/issues/15) to get the unkernel booting appropriately, but I donât see how to specify that in config.ml - Iâm just listing package names, and so I suspect that someone else trying out the project will run into issues with the wrong version of the package - what's the solution here?

Hm. Several libraries have multiple parts though.

Also are we going to make it clear that we're mandating only libraries
expressed as OPAM packages can be used with Mirage?

(I like the idea of making the link between the package and the
library clearer in the common case though.)
