FAQPage Schema

How do I diff vendored OxCaml packages against pristine upstream sources?▼

To diff vendored OxCaml packages against pristine upstream sources, run oxmono diff <package>. It locates pristine sources in sources/<package> and modified versions in opam/<package>, using diff -ruN to surface all deviations.

What is the best way to audit modifications in an OxCaml monorepo?▼

Auditing modifications in an OxCaml monorepo involves comparing vendored packages against upstream to reveal changes. This process identifies compatibility modifications across opam/, sources/, and bleeding/ packages to help plan rebases or upgrades.

Can I compare changes across opam, sources, and bleeding package directories?▼

Yes, you can compare changes across opam/, sources/, and bleeding/ package directories. The diffing process locates pristine upstream sources and modified versions within these directories to surface all deviations for review.

When do I need to compare a vendored package against upstream sources?▼

You need to compare a vendored package against upstream sources when preparing upstream upgrades or auditing OxCaml compatibility changes. This comparison reveals modifications and helps you understand changes to plan a rebasing strategy.

Does the oxmono-diff tool require any specific dependencies to run?▼

No specific dependencies are required to run the diffing process. It operates directly on the monorepo's directory structure, using standard diff -ruN to compare pristine sources and modified versions.

Why does comparing vendored packages help with planning a rebase?▼

Comparing vendored packages helps with planning a rebase by revealing all deviations from pristine upstream sources. Understanding these modifications allows you to verify upstream alignment and strategize how to integrate upstream upgrades.
