@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:

  • #652: get user name and email using git config if available else use defaults

  • #654: Ignore hidden source files

  • #622: Cleanup the backend output

  • #648: Add note about relocation of manifest reference

Work in progress#

  • #665 (WIP): add clean command

  • #653 (WIP): Enable profiles in toml

  • #608 (WIP): –env switch lets you specify the prefix of the compiler-related environment variables

  • #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：

  • 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.

  • 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。

LFortran#

  • LFortran is participating in GSoC, please see GSoC 2022 Student Instructions for LFortran for instructions how to apply

  • 19 Merge Requests merged

  • New ASR optimizations

  • Addes support for fma (fused-multiply add) in LLVM

  • Semantic improves to compile more of stdlib

We are looking for new contributors. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested. We will help you get up to speed.

活动#

  • Fortran-lang has been selected as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2022! Thanks to everybody who helped prepare the application. GSoC is Google’s global, online program that allows newcomers to open-source to work on a project and get paid for it. See the Fortran-lang GSoC 2022 page for information about the projects and how to apply. Applications for contributors open April 4 and close April 19. To learn more about GSoC and what has changed since last year, please see the GSoC 2022 announcement. If you’d like to participate as a contributor or a mentor, please let us know in this thread and we’ll help you get started.

  • Fortran-lang community now maintains a modernized fork of the classic library minpack. Give it a try!

  • We had our 23rd Fortran Monthly call on February 15. You can watch the recording below:

  • US Fortran Standards Committee meeting #226 started on February 28. See the draft agenda here and the submitted papers here.
