Make System Overview

The repository make system is the shared command language for maintainer work.

It starts at Makefile, delegates to makes/root.mk, and then pulls in repository fragments, reusable bijux-py contracts, package dispatch, and per-package bindings. The structure matters because it keeps command ownership traceable instead of burying it in one oversized file.

Core Shape

• Makefile is the top-level entrypoint
• makes/root.mk assembles repository-wide includes
• makes/bijux-py/ carries reusable command contracts and target families
• makes/packages/ maps those shared contracts onto real proteomics packages

Purpose

This page gives the shortest honest explanation of how the make system is organized.

Stability

Keep it aligned with the actual include structure rooted at Makefile.
