Hi Ralf,

Thanks for implementing this!

So, If I understood correctly, the workflow will be as follows:

1. Commit & push to stdpp
2. Wait until the CI has finished, and the commit appears at 
https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/FP/opam-dev/
3. Change the opam file to the version number at 
https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/FP/opam-dev/ corresponding to the new commit
4. Commit & push to Iris

For dependencies of Iris, step (2) may take quite a while, I suppose? I 
guess it is a bad idea to take an educated guess of the version number 
and push to Iris or its dependencies before (2) has finished.
