Create another repository for contrib modules

Open Morwenn opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

The name "contrib" isn't the best one, but it would be nice to have another repository where we could store:

Sorters relying on code with different licenses
Sorters relying on different libraries

CMake and Conan should be instrumented to download the corresponding repository to build those sorters when users ask to build the contrib modules. Looking at how OpenCV does it could be interesting.

It could also be used as a repository to store no-mature sorters or adapters before including them in the main library.

While it is something that I still want to do at some point, I prefer not to give it too much thought right now and to only add the possibility to the 2.0.0 version and later. This will allow to think purely in C++20 without having to bother about more retrocompatibility.
