Buckaroo - C/C++ Package Manager hits v2.0.0

Buckaroo

The decentralized C++ package manager.

Why Buckaroo?

Package managers like Yarn and Cargo have shown how productive developers can be when they can easily integrate a large ecosystem of projects. Buckaroo fills this gap for C++.

The Buckaroo workflow looks like this:

# Create your project file
$ buckaroo init

# Install dependencies
$ buckaroo add github.com/buckaroo-pm/boost-thread@branch=master

# Run your code
$ buck run :my-app

Features

C++ has unique requirements, so Buckaroo is a highly sophisticated piece of software.

• Pull dependencies directly from GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab, hosted Git and HTTP
• Fully reproducible builds and dependency resolution
• Completely decentralized - there is no central server or publishing process
• Allows any build configuration (even on a package-by-package basis)
• Private and public dependencies to avoid "dependency hell"
• Multiple libraries per package, so tools like Lerna are unnecessary
• Pull individual packages out of mono-repos
• Full support for semantic versioning (but only when you want it!)
• Live at head! Move fast by depending directly on Git branches, but in a controlled way
• Blazing fast resolution using clever heuristics
• Version equivalency checks to reduce dependency conflicts
• TOML configuration files for convenient editing by computers and humans
• Works offline (with a populated cache)
• Enable Upgrade Bot to keep everything up-to-date with a single click
