Summary

Conan.io, a C/C++ package manager, has been integrated into JFrog, marking a significant advancement in JFrog's universal approach to providing developers with the freedom to use any technology. Despite JFrog Artifactory supporting many popular programming languages, C and C++ were previously underserved due to the absence of a robust package management solution. Conan.io emerged as a promising tool for C/C++ development, offering true dependency management and addressing unique requirements such as conditional dependencies. The founders of Conan.io, Diego Rodriguez-Losada Gonzalez and Luis Martínez de Bartolomé, have partnered with JFrog to enhance Artifactory's capabilities, enabling a comprehensive management solution for C/C++ binaries. This collaboration aims to replace proprietary C/C++ development solutions with a powerful package manager integrated with an enterprise-grade repository manager, offering features like high availability, multisite development, and CI integration. JFrog anticipates that this alliance will revolutionize C/C++ development, allowing faster and more efficient software releases. An official announcement regarding Artifactory's support for Conan is forthcoming, encouraging developers to explore Conan.io in the meantime.
