Building a package

You can use Nebula to build your package you're developing in C. Run the following command from the root of your package, and ensure you have a src directory:

neb build .

You can replace the . with a directory if you want to build a directory as a package.

How do I make a package?

There are some templates that you can use created by the Comet group. There is a tutorial on the Comet repo's wiki with documentation on creating external libraries.

Getting a package on Nebula

First, create a repository with your package. Once you've done that, submit a pull request with a commit editting the package_index.json file in the Nebula repository. Add the following the the index:

    ...
    "your_package_name": {
        "repository": "https://chookspace.com/owner of the package/your package name",
        "description": "description here",
        "gitAuthor": "owner of the package"
    }
}

Your package will be checked and if all is well, added to the Nebula index!
