Haiku is a UNIX-like open source operating system that provides a tool called haikuporter to build 3rd party open source software.

A recipe in Haiku is a text file that the haikuporter tool reads in order to build open source software and create packages for it. The collection of recipes that may be built by haikuporter is called HaikuPorts.

If you are new to Haiku then you should probably start with these tasks:

• [New to Haiku? Do this one first] Install and Run Haiku
• Install and run HaikuPorter

The goal of this task is to port Pandas, that is, a powerful Python data analysis toolkit, and write a recipe for it.

Pandas follows the setup.py build system. Look at other Python packages recipes (in dev-python) to know how to use it in Haiku recipes. Pandas has a lot of optional dependencies, for this task you're only required to package Pandas without that dependencies.

For more information, see our wiki page "Haikuporter recipe task".

If the software requires several dependencies (libraries for example) that have not yet been ported, let us know, we can create tasks for those as well.
