Subject: [Caml-list] Portable way to retrieve and unpack tar files from github
Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2017 17:36:07 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e78ef187-0edd-db24-2adc-e13b551ff6fb@gmx.net> (raw)
Hello list,
I am looking for a portable way to retrieve tar files from github and
unpacking them.
I could use system calls to "wget https://www.github.com.." and "tar xzf
tarfile.tar.gz", but this works only in environments where tar and wget
are available i.e. possibly not on windows and maybe not on MacOS machines.
Is there any library available on then opam repository to do this in a
portable way. Thanks for any hint.
Regards
Helmut
