| Modern programming language environments are usually connected with package managers that provide the ability to download, update, and integrate third-party software libraries. This is, however, not the case of C++ that has no established package management standard. Although two package managers, namely vcpkg and Conan, as well as Linux system package managers are frequently used for the distribution of C++ libraries, significant number of important libraries are not yet presented in any of the three systems. As a result, many C++ developers consider managing library dependencies a significant problem in C++ development. While the poor adoption of package managers on the part of library creators will not improve overnight, the situation may be improved on the side of library users, by hiding the differences and complexities of various package managers under a unified interface.
The goal of this thesis is to create a formal model describing and generalizing package managers for the C++ environment. Covered by the model will be the functionality of both C++-specific package managers and system package managers. The model’s main focus will be package compatibility, which includes versioning and build-system integration. As an implementation of this model, a new package (meta-)manager will be created. To demonstrate the functionality, the new package manager will integrate a selected existing C++-specific package manager and, at a limited degree of functionality, one system package manager. The integration will consist of the ability to consume packages provided by the underlying manager as well as providing unified interface to most common functionality like updates. |
