veda-new-package - Create a new skeleton package
veda new-package pkg-name [--language skill|scheme] [--prefix prefix]
Creates a new package pkg-name following the Veda guidelines.
The main skeleton file is populated with bogus information and a basic example to be updated/edited out; each of these locations is marked with a TODO note.
A simple, basic test suite is also generated. It includes three tiny test cases, one of which is failing for demonstration purposes.
skill|schemeSpecify main language for the package, either skill for SKILL or scheme for SKILL++. Other languages and file types can still be used, but this initial choice determines the file extension of the package's titular file (.il or .ils).
Specify prefix as the global namespace prefix for exported symbols. Cadence recommends the use of a capitalized prefix to avoid clashes with built-in identifiers, which have all-lowercase prefixes; e.g. AcmeRocket for Acme Corporation's rocket package.
Defaults to My followed by the capitalized "words" in package, e.g. MyFooBar for package foo-bar.
Basic package creation:
$ veda new-package rocket --language scheme --prefix AcmeRocket
Create rocket
Create rocket/rocket.ils
Create rocket/rocket-test.ilsExamining the TODO notes:
