What problem does it solve?

Migrating OCaml projects from ocamlbuild/topkg to dune modernizes builds, simplifies dependencies, and improves reproducibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guides migration by identifying ocamlbuild/topkg artifacts (_tags, *.mllib, pkg/pkg.ml, topkg) and generating dune-project and library stanzas.
  • Produces a complete migration plan including handling toplevel init files, opam metadata, tests, and documentation updates.
  • Applicable to projects aiming to adopt a modern, reproducible OCaml build workflow and reduce manual rewrite effort.

Quick Start

Run the migration guide against an OCaml project to convert _tags, .mllib, and pkg/pkg.ml references into dune equivalents. Follow the steps to create a dune-project, library stanzas, and update opam metadata, while removing ocamlbuild artifacts.
