This module implements the basics for Linux distribution ("distro") detection and the OS's native package manager. Its primary purpose is to produce output for Nimble packages, like:
To complete the installation, run: sudo apt-get install libblas-dev sudo apt-get install libvoodoo
The above output could be the result of a code snippet like:
if detectOs(Ubuntu): foreignDep "lbiblas-dev" foreignDep "libvoodoo"
See packaging for hints on distributing Nim using OS packages.

proc echoForeignDeps() {....raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}
- Writes the list of registered foreign deps to stdout. Source Edit
proc foreignCmd(cmd: string; requiresSudo = false) {....raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}
- Registers a foreign command to the internal list of commands that can be queried later. Source Edit
proc foreignDep(foreignPackageName: string) {....raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}
- Registers foreignPackageName to the internal list of foreign deps. It is your job to ensure that the package name is correct. Source Edit
