Granularity of public releases and updates to the opam repositories

[juuso....@gmail.com]

Is there an estimated time frame for the release of 113.24.00, if it is a major enough revision for a release on opam in the first place? I'm particularly interested in the updated Rpc_parallel, but while attempting to build it from source through an opam pin it quickly became evident that hunting down upgrades for its dependencies will probably lead back to Core. After a few manual upgrades I figured it might be a better idea to ask whether updating the opam repositories of JS libs to 113.24 is on the horizon.

Sorry, but this release is a huge code-drop, and it's taking a lot of
time to get the patch through the testing cycle on the OPAM side. But
work is in progress. Anil, is a week a reasonable guess?

Hopefully now that we've improved the automation around releases, new
releases will take less time to get through.

Yes indeed, I'm running the builds right now and debugging the infrastructure around it as well, so hopefully rsn.

One thing that would really help is if someone would be willing to beta test some of the reverse dependency builds -- it just needs a Linux box running Docker (I'm running the FreeBSD tests by hand). Just drop me a note and I'll supply instructions.
