I’m familiar with packaging for conda, spack, brew, Arch and MSYS2 and will probably submit stdlib for those at some point. But I won’t touch a deb any time soon (why does this stuff need to be so complicated?). Submitting a conda-forge recipe seems like the next step, since I anyway have to package a lot of Fortran projects there in the next time. Maybe even with a short tutorial in case people are interested in how its done. I already posted a guide for packaging with MSYS2 here: > [@Packaging for MSYS2](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/2005): > > @zoziha asked me about a MSYS2 version of stdlib when we were preparing the release for version 0.1.0 and while I’m not much of a Windows user, the MSYS2 tool chain is something I found very useful. In particular because its package manager, pacman, is based on Arch Linux’ tool chain, the one I’m using for my own machine.
