This report covers weekly developments in the moby/datakit, mirage/irmin, mirage/ocaml-git and mirage/ocaml-9p repositories.
TL;DR: It's been a quiet week after the previous week's slew of releases, with mainly packaging fixes and debugging deployments of DataKit CI in LinuxKit.
Build and Packaging:
- The automated release infrastructure was improved to support Jbuilder (moby/datakit#543 @samoht).
- The GitHub bridge version constraints were fixed to improve OPAM installation (moby/datakit#544 @samoht).
- The test harnesses were also extended to test on OCaml 4.03.0, which is the new minimum supported version of the compiler as of MirageOS 3.0 (moby/datakit#546 @samoht).
Functionality improvements:
- The example 'self-ci' was updated to use the latest release of the GitHub bridge (moby/datakit#545 @samoht).
- @samoht updated the development tree to support the latest versions of the 9P and Lwt libraries (moby/datakit#547 @samoht).
- @djs55 has fixed the linking of the
protocol-9p-unixsubpackage to correctly link againstio-page.unix(mirage/ocaml-9p#121 @djs55). - @talex5 has been debugging a possible regression in the latest releases by investigating why Irmin is reporting all remote branches as having invalid names (mirage/irmin#440 @talex5).
- Some of the code that powers DataKit is going to be launched into space!
- A Slack channel is now available to chat about DataKit over in #datakit at Docker Community Slack.
