The packages ocaml-src.4.13.dev, ocaml-src.4.14.dev and ocaml-src.5.0.dev do not contain a checksum (see also #25969). The ocaml-src.*.*.dev packages were first introduced in #18229 but since OCaml 5.1 it seems the ocaml-src.*.dev style package was dropped. In the discussion in #18229 I gather it was useful for Mirage at some point, but I'm not aware of such usage today. Furthermore, the packages are flagged with avoid-version:
Finally, a search on GitHub for ocaml-src.5.0.dev only shows the above opam file suggesting it's maybe not being used.
With that in mind I think it's reasonable to consider archiving these packages.
The motivation by me to have these packages archived is related to #22057: in opam-mirror we produce errors when packages don't have a checksum. I'd like to remove or reduce this, and perhaps apply heuristics for what packages we can expect no checksums.
