Conan.io (C++ package management) integration announcement post - March 31

Proposal

I would like to to a short write up about how the Conan C++ package manager integration works and how it makes Gitlab a full development pipeline for all C++ devs; how they can truly have anything from sketches of a project architecture all the way to different binaries for public or private consumption in one single place.

Objectives:

C++ is estimated to represent around 20% of all the code in the world. I believe that this integration is relevant news to some of the coders in charge of such an amount of relevant code bases written in C++. This post wants to increase awareness of GitLab features and use cases among this relevant community.

Summary:

This is the first version (and probably skewed and somewhat off spot) of what I intend to be the announcement post of the Conan’s integration with Gitlab. My intention is to have it published in Gitlab’s blog but since I yet don’t know how that would work – unless someone else has any other idea – let’s push it to Gitlab Unfiltered. Once published, I would like to share it at isocpp.org, C++ Standards Committee’s website, for the larger C++ community. Any other places, Gitlab and C/C++ user converge that may be interested in this?

Find the first draft here.
