Dependencies
This section outlines all the practices and guidelines for the requirements() and build_requirements() methods. This includes everything from "vendored" dependencies to
when and how the versions could be changed.
Contents
Rules
- Version range is not allowed.
- Specify explicit RREV (recipe revision) of dependencies is not allowed.
- Vendoring in library source code should be removed (best effort) to avoid potential ODR violations. If upstream takes care to rename symbols, it may be acceptable.
- Only ConanCenter recipes are allowed in
requires/requirements()andbuild_requires/build_requirements(). - If a requirement is conditional, this condition must not depend on build context. Build requirements don't have this constraint.
- Forcing options of dependencies inside a recipe should be avoided, except if it is mandatory for the library - in which case it must
be enforced through the
validate()methods.
