Gerenciador de Pacotes Fortran#

Here’s what’s new in fpm:

  • #688: Small fix for fpm_model

  • #665: Adiciona comando «clean»

Trabalhos em andamento:

  • #693 (WIP): Fix show-model option

  • #686 (WIP): fix: remove extra space from help-test cmd

  • #539 (WIP): Add parent packages into dependency tree

  • #498 (WIP): Compiler flags profiles

fpm is still in early development and we need as much help as we can get. Here’s how you can help today:

  • Use it and let us know what you think! Read the fpm packaging guide to learn how to build your package with fpm, and the manifest reference to learn what are all the things that you can specify in the fpm.toml file.

  • Navegue pelos pacotes fpm existentes no site fortran-lang

  • Browse the open issues and see if you can help implement any fixes or features.

  • Adapt your Fortran package for fpm and submit it to the Registry.

  • Ajude a melhorar a documentação.

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.
