5 months ago Happy to keep the package request open, but to set expectations, it's unlikely we'll bring it in unless we need it as a build dependency for a package.

What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023? Please describe and include package name.
xmake is a lightweight cross-platform build utility based on Lua.
It uses xmake.lua to maintain project builds. Compared with makefile/CMakeLists.txt, the configuration syntax is more concise and intuitive. It is very friendly to novices and can quickly get started in a short time. Let users focus more on actual project development.
It can compile the project directly like Make/Ninja, or generate project files like CMake/Meson, and it also has a built-in package management system to help users solve the integrated use of C/C++ dependent libraries.
Is this an update to existing package or new package request? New package request
Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify. No Xmake was not available on AL2, but since recently it is for Fedora >= 38
Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc) I strongly believe that Xmake will become a strong actor as build utility and deserve to be available on AL2023
