I already have a recipe that works in some circumstances, but I need some help.
I do not understand, how the download of the source code works.

I added a link to conandata.yml and added the sha256 of the file.
But where will this file be located after downloading it and how to test this?

@NelDav Thank you for your intention of contribution. Please, read the official documentation to understand how to create a new Conan package, it's an essential step: https://docs.conan.io/2/tutorial/creating_packages.html

Plus, you should take a look in the ConanCenterIndex documentation too: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/tree/master/docs/adding_packages

Even if your recipe is not working 100%, you still can submit your pull request in draft mode, and ask for help. The community will support you.

Hi @uilianries thanks for your reply. I first had some troubles, since the workflow I used before was different from how it is done here. But I think I am almost ready. As you probably saw already, I created a PR (#21324). As soon as I the pipelines will run, I will remove the draft. I am already excited, what you guys think about the recipe and how to improve it :)
