@MarDiehl 和 @arjenmarkus 在 该仓库。请尝试一下，如果有任何问题，或者 API 是否可以改进，请告诉我们它是如何工作的。

Fortran 包管理器

Here’s what’s new in fpm:

• #597: Add LFortran optimization flag to release profile

• #595: List names without suffix (mainly for Windows)

• #590: Change link command on Windows with ifort or ifx

• #575: Enable multiple build output directories

• #587: Bootstrapping instructions version update

Work in progress

• #598 (WIP): Update README.md compiler, archiver, & link flags

• #569 (WIP): Add workflow for continuous delivery

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

• #498 (WIP): Compiler flags profiles

fpm 仍处于早期开发阶段，我们需要尽可能多的帮助。以下是你今天可以提供的帮助：

• 使用它并告诉我们你的想法！阅读fpm 打包指南 了解如何使用 fpm 构建软件包，并阅读清单参考 了解可以在 fpm.toml 文件中指定哪些内容。

• 在 fortran-lang 网站 上浏览现有的 fpm 包

• 浏览 开启的 issues，看看你是否可以帮助实施任何修复或功能。

• 为 fpm 调整 Fortran 包并将其提交到 Registry。

• 改进文档。

fpm 的短期目标是使具有依赖关系的 Fortran 包的开发和安装更容易。其长期目标是构建一个丰富且分散的 Fortran 软件包生态系统，并创建一个健康的环境，在该环境中轻松创建和发布新的开源 Fortran 项目。

活动

• We have adopted two new Fortran-lang guidelines:

  • Governance document that describes how Fortran-lang projects are managed

  • Administration, moderation, and editing guide for Fortran Discourse Both documents are part of an effort to increase transparency between Fortran-lang administrators and the rest of the community.

• The US Fortran Standards Committee (J3) held the meeting 225 October 18-27, 2021. The meeting was virtual and on Mondays and Wednesdays only. Discussions focused on resolving any outstanding issues to the Fortran 202X features. Here are the links to the meeting agenda, minutes, and papers. See also the Fortran-lang and LFortran liaison report to J3 submitted by Ondřej Čertík and Milan Curcic.

• We had our 19th Fortran Monthly call on October 19. You can watch the recording below:
