Certain ecosystems like in [[file:2020-09-04-16-07-47.org][Nix package manager]] with [[https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs][nixpkgs]] or [[file:2020-08-19-08-21-44.org][GNU Guix]] within their own packages follow a standard (officially) [fn:: If not, you can freely ~make build~ all you want.] about making sure all dependencies are present first before building the package.
Smaller libraries often go through this and so, you need to package the dependencies first.
It also helps with creating a global definition for other packages that requires those small libraries.
Update the files for convention Apparently, the convention (at least starting from 2018) is to make the keywords and block names to be in lowercase as stated from one of the following discussions at https://orgmode.org/list/87tuuw3n15.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr/. The files was updated with a one liner of shell. However, this is Emacs and org-mode does have an API to let you do stuff in your config and interact with the documents internally so it is not an elegant solution in any way. 2021-04-01 16:08:15 +00:00			`#+title: Create package definitions for missing dependencies first before the package itself`
