conan-center-index VS bubbletea

Conan is a package manager for C/C++. See: https://conan.io/.

The way it works is that you can provide "recipes", which are Python scripts, that automate the process of collecting source code (usually from a remote Git repository, or a remote source tarball), patching it, making its dependencies and transitive dependencies available, building for specific platform and architecture (via any number of build systems), then packaging up and serving binaries. There's a lot of complexity involved.

Here are the two recipes I mentioned:

libcurl: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/r...

OpenSSL v3: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/r...

Now, for the sake of this thread I want to highlight three things here:

- Conan recipes are usually made by people unaffiliated with the libraries they're packaging;

- The recipes are fully Turing-complete, do a lot of work, have their own bugs - therefore they should really be treated as software comonents themselves, for the purpose of OSS clearing/supply chain verification, except as far as I know, nobody does it;

- The recipes can, and do, patch source code and build scripts. There's supporting infrastruture for this built into Conan, and of course one can also do it by brute-force search and replace. See e.g. ZLib recipe that does it both at the same time:

https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/7b0ac710... -- `_patch_sources` does both direct search-and-replace in source files, and applies the patches from https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/tree/master/r....

Now, good luck keeping track of what's going on there.

https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index there's 200+ PR that need reviewing :) we add community reviewers fairly often

As for ffmpeg it was last updated 10 days ago https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/commits/master/recipes/ffmpeg/all :)

Indeed others in your situation have chosen to remain a bit longer on Conan 1.x - rest assured, every single pull request in Conan Center still requires full compatibility with Conan 1.x. u/miss_minutes, I'm surprised to hear that downgrading to the latest stable 1.x version has caused issues for you. I'd be very interested in learning about this so that we can help, please feel free to open an issue in GitHub with more details at https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/issues/new/choose, and tag me @jcar87, and we'll gladly look into this.

https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index if you want to contribute migration of that recipes that would be amazing

This is a more complicated recipe https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/recipes/pcapplusplus/all/conanfile.py

It's available in Conan too https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/tree/master/recipes/crowcpp-crow though it's not well maintained so no promises if it's working

This post on github contains a list of packages supported by conan 2.0, its also kept up to date https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/discussions/16196

2) Go to https://conan.io/center/ and search for nlohmann, click the first hit.

I hope CMake and conan continue to be adopted by more CPP developers. But the future will tell.

I recommend looking at the charm libraries. Lip gloss https://github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss can provide the styling and bubble tea can handle the screen updates and framework https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea there is a premade progress bar component in bubbles library. https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles

I built a TUI app to find anime scenes by image to learn the TUI framework [Bubbletea](https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea)

TUI’s are awesome; I’ve used this library to build them in the past: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

For a sufficiently-complex system, a CLI client just isn’t as powerful as a live “console”. A TUI can play the part and you don’t have to venture into the web SPA world.

If you want to build terminal app, I highly recommend the bubbletea library: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

You can view your snippets in a human-friendly web UI that syntax-highlights the code and even renders markdown. In addition to the Web UI, the TUI (powered by bubbletea) has a file browser, code viewer and attribute editor.

A sibling comment points at https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea as a Go alternative with a similar architecture

For Golang there is Bubbletea [1], Textual [2] for Python and tui-rs for Rust [3].

[3] https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs

The closest thing in Go I know about is bubbletea:

Don't forget https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea and the rest of the https://charm.sh suite!
