C++ Package Manager

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Proposes a C++ package manager that downloads and builds per exact compiler/configuration so Visual Studio (or any IDE) gets a binary matching bitness debug/release runtime and ABI, and a build farm or local builder produces missing variants. Contrasts NuGet as Windows‑only and per‑solution duplication that wastes disk. Adds automated failure reporting that emails exact compiler options and logs when a build fails, so library authors reproduce and fix breakage.
