For some reasons it is failing on Travis (and in the CI -- although it appears green) for all recent versions of ocaml (4.06, 4.07, 4.08) with

[ERROR] No solution for eqaf.0.5: The following dependencies couldn't be met:
          - eqaf → crowbar → xmldiff → xmlm < 1.3.0 → ocaml < 4.06.0
              base of this switch (use `--unlock-base' to force)

[dinosaure]

Hmmhmm, indeed xmlm.1.2.0 requires < ocaml.4.06.0 and these deps appear with (with-test} flag because we want to compile with opam install -t eqaf. I can not reproduce it on my side where opam install -t eqaf wants to install only crowbar - I don't understand OPAM looks into crowbar's deps for testing ...

[mseri]

I have disabled the tests on ocaml >= 4.06.0 for now. I thought opam was fixed to avoid recursive test-dependencies installation (ping @rjbou)

[mseri]

@kit-ty-kate do you understand why opam on Travis is trying to install the test dependencies of the test dependencies even now that the tests are disabled?

[kit-ty-kate]

@mseri yes, simply because the test dependencies are still listed and opam is trying to get them. There is no way of "disabling" tests in the sense. You can only disable actions (and you did)

[kit-ty-kate]

The recursive test problem is described in ocaml-opam/opam-depext#121

[kit-ty-kate]

It should be good now. The failures in Travis are somewhat irrelevant

Thanks!
