What do you use for a package manager?

Looking to see what people use for package managers for different languages 🎁

[JackEAllen]

Can anyone recommend any good package managers for repos using C++?

Conan is my first choice for C/C++ artifacts.

@beutlich What are the pro's and con's of Conan if any in your opinion out of interest?

Well, as the livestream said, "it depends". Not sure, what your expectations and requirements are, but I have to admit that I do not have much experience with vcpkg or other package managers for C/C++. Conan recipes can be either text or Python and are highly customizable in the latter case. Basically you can do deploy/install everything you like and as complex it might be to setup. It also is actively maintained and well documented, integrates with CMake (if you need to use it) or other build tools. You can also call Conan from CMake if that is of use for you.
