[Package]: opam

[b9Joker108]

Why is it worth to add this package?

opam 2.0.3, dated Feb 1, 2019, is currently in the Termux repository. This is a request to update it, as the current stable release version is: opam 2.2.1, released on Aug 22, 2024.

Note: I am happy to assist with updating the package if someone will instruct me how to do it. I would like to assist with maintaining and updating Termux packages, but am not sure how to go about it.

I installed it from the Termux package manager today! This is the version: opam 2.0.3. BTW: https://github.com/ocaml/opam/releases/download/2.2.1/opam-2.2.1-arm64-linux

[Biswa96]

That binary is for AArch64 Linux system which is not 100% same with AArch64 Android.

Also, when installing ocaml from the Termux repository with: pkg i ocaml, opam 2.0.3 is also installed as well.

ocaml package was removed in termux packages. It is now in disabled-packages directory https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/blob/master/disabled-packages/ocaml/build.sh

I noted that I couldn't get the secondary compiler in opam 2.2.1 to work when installing packages with opam in Termux, so I have deleted it. BTW, opam is still in the Termux repository:

> pkg i opam

It is in your cache as no download log shown but 0B of download size (Need to get 0 B/2999 kB of archives.). We don't have opam in our repositories. Some outdated mirrors may still provide it.

Original Termux repositories are only those ending with termux.dev.

Same with ocaml package.
