12:06 <ehmry> is wodan abandoned?

12:09 <ehmry> how can installing opam packages cause other packages to be recompiled?

12:22 <avsm[m]> because packages can have optional dependencies, and if those are installed then the dependent packages are recompiled to gain the new functionality

12:22 <avsm[m]> <ehmry "I would hate opam a little less "> please do file an issue about this on https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues and we'd be pleased to look into improving it

14:53 <ehmry> it feels like there are potential problems of statefulness, indeterminism, and dependency cycles at every step

15:26 <ehmry> heres a good example, one day I fix a package with a broken dependency and pin it without a version. the next day I try to pin it again because other package breaks when this package has the version "dev". I pin it today and now it doesn't build
