OCaml solver in Windows version of Zero Install

A while ago Thomas added the "0install slave" command to the OCaml
implementation of Zero Install which allows external applications to control
Zero Install using a JSON API.

 

The C#/Windows version of Zero Install works standalone using its own
Solver, but the OCaml solver is more powerful (can handle more complex
dependency trees). Therefore I started working on a feature in Zero Install
for Windows that automatically downloads and uses the OCaml version as an
additional Solver backend if the built-in Solver cannot find a solution on
its own. I've gotten a little sidetracked with other stuff in the past
months but now I finally got around to finishing this integration between
the C# Frontend and OCaml Solver.

 

Windows builds of the OCaml version currently do not support SSL. This would
be a problem when the Solver tries to contact the Key info server but since
the C# Solver runs first any relevant keys are most likely already listed in
trustdb.xml.

 

@Thomas: Could you add a current Windows build of the OCaml version (e.g.,
pulled from TeamCity) to the public http://0install.net/tools/0install.xml
feed?
