OPAM

Flexible Workflows

OPAM supports all kinds of work-flows involving both public, shared and private components. OPAM also supports package pinning for easy deployment of unreleased components. Despite that flexibility, OPAM will ensure that your whole project stays up-to-date and consistent.

Repository Plugins

OPAM lets you collect the metadata about your components into self-contained repositories. Various kinds of repositories are supported: HTTP(s) servers, local and shared file-systems and Git: hence you can easily share the metadata of your components with your collaborators on GitHub.

Dependency Tracking

OPAM keeps track of all the component dependencies in your project and ensures that it always stays in a consistent state. OPAM also ensures that only the minimal amount of computation is done when component interfaces change. This results in much shorter integration loops.

Open-Source

OPAM is developped using open-source technologies such as OCaml and CUDF. OPAM itself is an active open-source project with a vibrant sustainable, community-driven software model. Hence, you can easily modify it to make it better fit your needs.

Community

OPAM has a rich ecosystem of software which integrates together nicely. OCamlot is an automated framework integrated with GitHub to test for global project consistency when new components are submitted. Opam2web helps you build websites to visualize your universe of components.

Managing Complexity

OPAM is platform and project agnostic, making it the ideal choice for managing complex projects spanning multiple teams, tools and languages. OPAM uses state-of-the-art constraint solvers, developed in the framework of the Mancoosi project, to scale to hundred thousands of components -- the same tools are used daily by the Debian project to manage their packages.
