ZXC is already in Debian / Ubuntu (and derivatives), the AUR (zxc + zxc-bin), ALT Linux, SliTaz, plus Homebrew, vcpkg, Conan, crates.io, PyPI and npm. Thanks to everyone who's stepped up so far! 🙏
I'm not maintaining Linux distro packages myself, so I'm looking for volunteer maintainers to own packaging ZXC for the distros below. You'd be the downstream maintainer; I just tag releases and answer packaging questions.
Where help is wanted
openSUSE · Alpine · Fedora/EPEL · Nix · Gentoo · Void
Build basics
- Pure C17, builds with CMake (≥3.14) or Meson; no deps beyond libc + pthreads; BSD-3-Clause; test suite via
ctest.
- Shared lib + portable runtime SIMD dispatch:
-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DZXC_NATIVE_ARCH=OFF.
- Notes that help any packager (lib/dev split, SONAME policy, man page, bundled
rapidhash) are in the repo to get you started.
To volunteer
Comment with the distro you'd like to take (a link to prior packaging work or your distro account is a welcome trust signal). Thanks!
