The opam description for domainslib says the following

# Packages matching: (installed | available) & name-match(domainslib)
# Package        # Installed # Synopsis
domainslib.0.3.0 0.4.2       Parallel Structures over Domains for Multicore OCaml
domainslib.0.3.1 0.4.2       Parallel Structures over Domains for Multicore OCaml
domainslib.0.3.2 0.4.2       Parallel Structures over Domains for Multicore OCaml
domainslib.0.4.0 0.4.2       Parallel Structures over Domains for Multicore OCaml
domainslib.0.4.1 0.4.2       Parallel Structures over Domains for Multicore OCaml
domainslib.0.4.2 0.4.2       Parallel Structures over Domains for Multicore OCaml

I think we should rename this to "Nested-parallel programming library".

Updated for the new release at ocaml/opam-repository#22236. Do we want to update the descriptions in the older versions too?

If this is easy to do (and not looked down upon), sure. Perhaps @kit-ty-kate would know.

kit-ty-kate commented

Sure, updating the metadata is totally fine.
