OCaml-focused custom nix-overlays

This repo contains a set of custom overlays and upgrades over the upstream nixpkgs set of (mostly) OCaml packages, and a few other curated derivations.

Using this set of packages

In your flake.nix:

  # Use this repo as the `nixpkgs` URL
  inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:nix-ocaml/nix-overlays";


  outputs = { self, nixpkgs }:
    let
      pkgs = nixpkg.legacyPackages.${"YOUR_SYSTEM_STRING"};
    in
    {
      ...
