opam 2.0 has been release for a while. I was wondering if there is any repository for installing it on Ubuntu (18.04 LTS as of Oct 2018).
I searched on bing.com and couldn't find any mention. The OPAM website itself says the current supported version is 1.2.2, but listed under the "Other" category,
Distribution Latest OPAM Maintainer Notes
Ubuntu Linux (PPA) 2.0.0 Anil Madhavapeddy (@avsm) Anil's official
OPAM PPA Travis and discuss post
But the linked website therein show no recent activity (with the last being 151 weeks ago). Trying sudo add-apt-repository ppa:avsm/ppa also gives an error below.
Does anyone know how to use the repository correctly?
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:avsm/ppa
Latest stable versions of OCaml and OPAM.

According to the documentation, the avsm ppa now contains the current stable version of opam (2.x), as of Jan 2019:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:avsm/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install opam
