The next Fortran index hackathon will be on Thursday 5th March (14:00-16:30 UTC). We’ll be working on improving fortran-lang’s package index so that it’s more useful for the community. In particular, we intend to make it searchable by tags.

I am confused by the current state of fpm packages. The initial effort has not been updated since 2024
and was superceded, or so I thought. Now I see it listed here and what was supposed to replace it is
not responding.
I saw packages as the natural channel for development of procedures that would eventually go into stdlib
as well as many other things and now I see some work pointing back to improving the original (and I thought
defunct) version?
If one of them is being supported, I had a few packages to add, etc.
Apologies for the delayed response. I wasn’t aware of these fpm packaging efforts and can see why something like that would be useful. The Fortran index hackathon series is mainly about making improvements to the Fortran-lang webpage, so we’ve mainly been focused on the package index package that I linked, which lists all sorts of things that don’t necessarily have fpm as the build system and aren’t even necessarily written in Fortran.
