# Packaging Policy
|
|
|
|
This document gathers all the relevant information regarding the general lines to follow while creating new recipes that will eventually be
|
|
part of this repository.
|
|
|
|
## Sources
|
|
|
|
**Origin of sources:** Library sources should come from an official origin like the library source code repository or the official
|
|
release/download webpage.
|
|
|
|
**Building from sources:** Recipes should always build packages from library sources.
|
|
|
|
**Sources not accessible:**
|
|
|
|
- Library sources that are not publicly available will not be allowed in this repository even if the license allows their redistribution.
|
|
|
|
- If library sources cannot be downloaded from their official origin or cannot be consumed directly due to their
|
|
format, the recommendation is to contact the publisher and ask them to provide the sources in a way/format that can be consumed
|
|
programmatically.
|
|
|
|
- In case of needing those binaries to use them as a "build require" for some library, we will consider following the approach of adding it
|
|
as a system recipe (`<build_require>/system`) and making those binaries available in the CI machines (if the license allows it).
