Packages that need compiling

[Zdenek Wagner]

Hello,

I am not a TL maintainer but as I understand, compilation from C is a
bit pain because it must be compiled for all platforms and is always
done by a few persons. For this reason it happens only once a year, so
your package could be shipped with TeX Live 2020. If you can avoid
compilable languages, it will certainly be better. Nowadays lua may be
a better choice than perl.

> In the output of the ctan2tds I have seen my new developed package "clojure-pamphlet" marked as "die 'skipping, compilation'". Does that mean that the package will never be shipped with TeXLive? Do I need to do something special because the package needs compilation? Would it help if I ported the executable to Perl/Lua?
