[Caml-list] [ANN] opam-query 1.0

[Peter Zotov <whitequark@whitequark.org>]

Hello,

I'm glad to announce the release of opam-query 1.0.
It will be available in OPAM shortly.

opam-query is a tool that allows querying the OPAM package
description files from shell scripts, similar to `oasis query`.

Most interestingly, it can be used to automate releasing
OPAM packages. For example, the following Makefile snippet
allows to release packages by merely changing the `version:'
field and running `make release'. (Right now, only GitHub URLs
are supported by --archive.)

     VERSION      = $(shell opam query --version)
     NAME_VERSION = $(shell opam query --name-version)
     ARCHIVE      = $(shell opam query --archive)

     release:
       git tag -a v$(VERSION) -m "Version $(VERSION)."
       git push origin v$(VERSION)
       opam publish prepare $(NAME_VERSION) $(ARCHIVE)
       opam publish submit $(NAME_VERSION)
       rm -rf $(NAME_VERSION)

     .PHONY: release

Please see the README[1] for complete documentation.
