I can see why the scripts can go, but what’s wrong with opam-admin.top?

but what’s wrong with opam-admin.top?

is this used?

I have used it in the past (e.g. https://github.com/dra27/opam/blob/cb298a00b78399af468217718a507f8824d3449a/admin-scripts/ocaml_windows.ml which produced the mass updates in dra27/opam-repository@23827c1), I’ve pointed various people at it in the past as an alternative to horrendously inefficient and fiddly sed/opam-ed scripts, and as it happens I was expecting to use it this week to prototype a solving analysis on packages - so, yes 🙂

Its iter_packages mechanism is a very useful method for doing mass updates to repositories - if we haven’t added another mechanism, why remove it? (I was curious as to whether its build had got in the way or made something awkward)

I don't know if @AltGr still uses this, but perhaps it could just be renamed to init.ml rather than deleted?

This ocamlinit was removed from root directory and moved here (cf #5526). I think we should keep, maybe elsewhere (shell ?) because it can be useful.

I think ocamlinit should stay, maybe somewhere else (that's the requested change).
For other scripts, I'm in favor or not removing them all. Even if hey are not up-to-date, they can be helpful the day we need them, and it will be the occasion to update them. The one i'm thinking about are : couverture.ml, cudf-debug.ml extract-mini-repository.
