+The repository depends on the package definition description, the `package()` related interface definition, etc. There will be time to elaborate, so stay tuned. .
+
+Please refer to the existing package description in the official repository: [xmake-repo](https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake-repo)
+
+Here is a more representative example for reference:
+
+```lua
+package("libxml2")
+
+    set_homepage("http://xmlsoft.org/")
+    set_description("The XML C parser and toolkit of Gnome.")
+
+    set_urls("https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2/archive/$(version).zip", {excludes = {"*/result/*", "*/test/*"}})
+
+    add_versions("v2.9.8", "c87793e45e66a7aa19200f861873f75195065de786a21c1b469bdb7bfc1230fb")
+    add_versions("v2.9.7", "31dd4c0e10fa625b47e27fd6a5295d246c883f214da947b9a4a9e13733905ed9")
+
+    if is_plat("macosx", "linux") then
+        add_deps("autoconf", "automake", "libtool", "pkg-config")
+    end
+
+    on_load(function (package)
+        package:addvar("includedirs", "include/libxml2")
+        package:addvar("links", "xml2")
+    end)
+
+    if is_plat("windows") and winos.version():gt("winxp") then
+        on_install("windows", function (package)
+            os.cd("win32")
+            os.vrun("cscript configure.js iso8859x=yes iconv=no compiler=msvc cruntime=/MT debug=%s prefix=\"%s\"", package:debug() and "yes" or "no", Package:installdir())
+            os.vrun("nmake /f Makefile.msvc")
+            os.vrun("nmake /f Makefile.msvc install")
+        end)
+    end
+
+    on_install("macosx", "linux", function (package)
+        import("package.tools.autoconf").install(package, {"--disable-dependency-tracking", "--without-python", "--without-lzma"})
+    end)
+```
