Searching for Convergence in C++ Package Management
Explore the challenges and potential solutions in C++ package management through this conference talk from CppNow 2022. Delve into the ongoing discussions between the ISO C++ Committee's Tooling Study Group (SG15) and package management software developers as they seek convergence in this critical area. Gain insights into why package management in C++ is a complex problem, identify opportunities for convergence, and learn about efforts to build consensus for improved interoperability between package managers and build systems. Benefit from the speakers' extensive experience in C++ development, build tools, and code governance as they share lessons learned from packaging thousands of C++ projects and engage with the community to collect requirements for better package management solutions in the C++ ecosystem.
