There was a problem hiding this comment.
Not totally sure what the license for this is, just going to assume it's similar to daml-sdk.

Actually I was able to get daml-sdk to install by extending this conditional: extra-args = if version == "2.8.0" || version == "3.4.10" then "--install-with-custom-version ${version}" else "";Do we still want to support the standalone SDK in these later version that have |

The standalone daml-sdk's Daml Assistant got discontinued a while back (not sure which version, but can confirm 3.4.10 is one of them), and was replaced by
dpm.We do have a need for
dpmin Obsidian internal projects, so I figured I'd add it here.As a result of the deprecation, each version spec can now only define either a daml-sdk spec or a dpm spec, so either of these can be nullable and are optionally included in the shell if they are defined. Sample install error for daml-sdk using sdkVersion=3.4.10:
I haven't looked into whether we can circumvent this to still get a partial install of the daml-sdk using these more recent versions; but I figured we should be moving away from it at these later daml versions anyhow so maybe disabling it is best.
I also bumped the default version to 3.4.10 in anticipation of maybe moving to dpm if nothing else is blocking us, but we can revert this change if necessary.
Notes:
dpm bootstrap. From what I can tell this seems to just pre-install the most recent SDK. But I feel like we can just leave this up to the user after the fact (they can do their owndpm install <sdk_ver>). Works fine for me without bootstrapping. Happy to re-add it though.
