### Authoring a package

1. **Write your package** the normal Tcl/Eagle way:

   * Provide a `pkgIndex.tcl` and/or `pkgIndex.eagle` that does `package provide <name> <version>`.
   * Organize your files under a single directory named after your package.

2. **Test locally**: ensure `package require <name> <version>` works from a clean interpreter when your package directory is on `auto_path` (Tcl) or `path` (Eagle).
2. **Test locally**: ensure `package require <name> <version>` works from a clean interpreter when your package directory is on `auto_path`.

3. **Decide distribution mode**:

   * **On‑demand**: pkgt can fetch files individually as directed by repository metadata.
   * **Pre‑installable**: you can ship the package directory as a ready‑to‑use tree.

> The pkgt repository server resolves a TIP #268 version constraint, returns a small signed script, and instructs the downloader which files to fetch. All files are OpenPGP‑signed; Eagle files are also Harpy‑signed.
