C++ SDK: Submit to ConanCenter package repository

[ghorbanzade]

Most engineering teams using Touca for serious C++ projects simply clone a stable version of our C++ SDK and repackage it internally. This is, in part, because the C++ ecosystem does not have a universally adopted package manager, like npm or PyPI. Teams that have the luxury to be ahead of the curve use Conan or vcpkg. These are battle-tested package managers suitable for large complex codebases but also very relevant and convenient for smaller projects.

We like to make Touca available on Conan Center public package registry to make it easier for Conan users to try Touca. To do so, we'd need to add a recipe for Touca to the conan-center-index repository. The instructions to do so are well documented here. But we may also have to make changes to our own conanfile.py (which is here). In particular, we may need to improve how our CMake logic installs the libraries and links to its third-party dependencies.

Hi @ghorbanzade,
As you suggested in Touca discord channel, I try to fix this issue. It seems the above link has changed. I Think the new link is here. Is this a correct instruction?

Hi @itsmevahid, Thanks so much for offering to work on this. Yes, that's indeed the right link. They seem to have moved that doc into its own directory.
