Question: is the config field archive-mirrors respected?

[hannesm]

Hello,

in the manual I read that you can set archive-mirrors: [ "<URL>" ... ] in the opam configuration file. Now, setting it in ~/.opam/config doesn't seem to have any effect -- tarballs are still downloaded from opam.ocaml.org.

My test case was opam source <package>. I'm using opam 2.1.2.

Thanks for developing opam and have a nice weekend!

NB: there's a separate repofiled archive-mirrors (as part of the repo file), but I'm asking about #configfield-archive-mirrors.

The website has too up-to-date documentation (it's display docs from opam master rather than latest stable release!). See also #4411 which has been fixed in #4830 which will be in 2.2 - so if you're happy to try opam master, this should be working (and please do re-open if that turns out not to be the case)

Dear @dra27, thanks for your quick response. Maybe it would be worth to state in the documentation kind of "since 2.2.0" or similar then? Yes, I understand that this feature has been present for longer, but #4411 explains pretty well the confusion...
