dune-release distrib odd lint error

[Chris00]

On the package csv-lwt, I have:

$ opam lint
/home/trch/software/OCaml/csv/csv.opam: Passed.
/home/trch/software/OCaml/csv/csv-lwt.opam: Passed.

but

$ dune-release distrib
...
[FAIL] lint opam file csv-lwt.opam:
       opam lint -s messages:
       /home/trch/software/OCaml/csv/_build/csv-2.3/csv-lwt.opam: Errors.
                    error  2: File format error at line 31, column 63: unterminated string

That part is identical to csv.opam. I have not investigated further but this is odd to me.

Thanks for reporting this!

I had a quick look and it seems that it is indeed a bug in dune-release. I'll investigate!

[NathanReb]

It seems that while building the distribution archive, the csv-lwt.opam file gets truncated somehow.

[Chris00]

I'll investigate!

Thanks.

[Chris00]

With --skip-lint the archive gets built and indeed the description field is truncated:

description: """
This is a pure OCaml library to read and write CSV files, including
all extensions used by Excel — e.g. quotes, newlines, 8 bit characters
in fields, \"0 etc. A special representation of rows of CSV files with
a header is provided. The library comes with a handy command line tool
called csvtool for handling CSV files from shell scripts.  This

@NathanReb Can you reproduce the bug on your side?

[NathanReb]

Yes I can reproduce! I haven't had time to investigate further unfortunately :/

[Chris00]

This is fine: strangely enough, just modifying the line a little works around the bug.

[NathanReb]

I'm glad to hear that! It's still a nasty bug though and I will definitely work on fixing that before the next patch release, which is hopefully coming soon!
