CPM's ability to fetch dependencies from Github is cool, and something I will eventually get to. I also like there's no need for 61 million helper files like conan or vpkg.
However, in the present case I have a large mono repository ~25 million lines of C/C+ code. This repository has ~250 libraries all inside the repo. As such there is no need to fetch from Github. The libraries are organized with a canonical layout that makes it easy to scan and discover.
Here's what I want to do:
Desired impact:
Now this will require a CPMAddPackage to understand a dependency is not in github, but rather it's in a directory tree.
Once I have that I can move individual libraries into their own Git repo and revert to CPMAddPackage with Githib urls.
Feasible? My guess: this is not a good use-case since CMake does this out of the box.
Rather once libraries are migrated to standalone Git repos then CPM is well suited.
Meanwhile I'll read your https://gitlab.com/external-packages/cpm.cmake carefully.
Regards!
