Dear LTS contributors, I'm a co-maintainer of opam, the OCaml-specific dependencies manager, which is currently broken in olstable: the version in Jessie is 1.2.0 and does not support the current opam repository format[0], meaning that users cannot install new OPAM packages, get updates, ... (see #907042)
I would like to propose an update in Jessie to 1.2.2, the same version as in Stretch, and Ben suggested that I ask here to check nobody would be opposed to it, and to get advise on the process to follow. Please note that upstream is planning a change to a new repository format (as part of releasing 2.0.0, which is currently in NEW) [1], but they plan to keep a branch of the repository in 1.2 format, and accept important updates there, so opam 1.2 will keep working for users of stable and LTS. Best, nicoo [0]: https://opam.ocaml.org/blog/deprecating-opam-1-2-0/ [1]: http://opam.ocaml.org/blog/opam-2-0-0-repo-upgrade-roadmap/
