Previously this was not installable on Windows, I've updated the available field to reflect that.
It should be usable on any Unix platform, there hasn't been much testing on Windows so I'm keeping that restriction.

On commit 8f568fe I saw runtime_events_tools_bare.0.5.3 compiling cleanly on the Windows CI:
https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/actions/runs/17505790089/job/49728939921
(The full version in runtime_events_tools.0.5.3 was indeed failing! ❌)
If the cut-down version works, I see no need to exclude Windows users (I don't recall whether there are unix'isms required to run it though) 🤷

Would you consider adding x-maintenance-intent entries?

@jmid It wont work on Windows, the native dependency hdr_histogram_ocaml fails to build.
(See tarides/runtime_events_tools#65).

I don't have the hardware or time to test on Windows. If someone wants to help out please submit a PR.

Maintenance intent should be x-maintenance-intent: ["(latest)"]

I think we are misunderstanding each other:

• runtime_events_tools_bare.0.5.3 which only depends on dune, ocaml, and cmdliner built succesfully. It doesn't depend on hdr_histogram_ocaml.
• I agree that runtime_events_tools.0.5.3 fails to build because its dependency hdr_histogram 0.0.4 fails to build on Windows.

Hence my comment:

Excellent, thanks! 🙏
