Hi fellow camel-wranglers,

It has been a bit quiet with updates lately with regards to the Dune package management feature, but it doesn’t mean that the work has stalled. We’re still continuing and got to a point where the code is mature enough to test it on all packages in OPAM-repository.

Some of you might be aware of [OPAM-health-check](https://github.com/ocurrent/opam-health-check/): a tool/service that monitors how much of the OPAM ecosystem can be built successfully. We extended it to build packages with Dune.

It’s a bit of a longer read, with all the explanations and thoughts that went into this, but I am sure it’ll be interesting for you what challenges we had, what progress happened in the last few months and most importantly, where we currently are:

> Explanation of our learnings from attempting to build all Dune packages in opam-repository using Dune package management.

We’re of course not done yet. So expect more update posts as we try to get as many projects working as possible in the future. If you have questions, ideas, suggestions, feel free to drop in in this thread 🙂

Thanks go out to my coworkers involved in this effort (@gridbugs @maiste @art-w @ElectreAAS @shym @mtelvers).
