Here’s what’s new in fpm
:
Work in progress:
fpm
is still in early development and we need as much help as we can get.
Here’s how you can help today:
The short-term goal of fpm is to make development and installation of Fortran packages with dependencies easier. Its long term goal is to build a rich and decentralized ecosystem of Fortran packages and create a healthy environment in which new open source Fortran projects are created and published with ease.
There are a number of pull requests out for evaluation.
A total of 12 pull requests were merged in January.
Recent development updates:
