Packaging Overview
This is the overall workflow for creating or updating a package.
Development environment preparation
- Prepare for Packaging
- Review the requirements for the package.yml file.
- Also review our Packaging Practices.
Prior to building a package
Please check the following:
- Search open package requests to see if there is one for the package. If there isn't an existing issue, go ahead and submit your pull request. If there is already a pull request, please check its status to avoid duplicating work.
- If you are submitting a pull request for the inclusion of software in the repo, the package has a corresponding package request that is accepted for inclusion or is a dependency of a package that has been accepted into the repository.
- If you are updating a package, check to see if there's a maintainer. See [Updating an Existing Package].(docs/packaging/updating-an-existing-package.md).
- If this is your first package update with your environment, see Your First Package Update to test your build environment.
Building packages
