[Julia][julia], as a full-fledged programming language with an extensive
|
|
|
|
|
standard library that covers numerical computing, can be somewhat challenging to
|
|
|
|
|
package. This file aims to provide pointers which could not easily be included
|
|
|
|
|
as comments in the expressions themselves.

For Nixpkgs, the manual is as always your primary reference, and for the Julia
|
|
|
|
|
side of things you probably want to familiarise yourself with the [README
|
|
|
|
|
][readme], [build instructions][build], and [release process][release_process].
|
|
|
|
|
Remember that these can change between Julia releases, especially if the LTS and
|
|
|
|
|
release branches have deviated greatly. A lot of the build process is
|
|
|
|
|
underdocumented and thus there is no substitute for digging into the code that
|
|
|
|
|
controls the build process. You are very likely to need to use the test suite to
|
|
|
|
|
locate and address issues and in the end passing it, while only disabling a
|
|
|
|
|
minimal set of broken or incompatible tests you think you have a good reason to
|
|
|
|
|
disable, is your best bet at arriving at a solid derivation.
