[question] package_type documentation is not precise enough (Conan 2.0)
Conan 2.0 documentation for package_type is not precise enough to actually inform users of the bahaviour.
Things to improve:
- For each
package_typedescribe precisely how those map to requirement traits. Otherwise users will not understand the behaviour.
So for example:
"Requiring astatic-librarywill setheaders=True,libs=True,run=Falsetraits by default".
"Requiring ashared-librarywill setheaders=True,libs=True,run=Truetraits by default". - Document the heuristics used by Conan to guess the
package_typeif it is not provided. - Document the heuristics used by Conan to guess the actual
librarytype whenlibrarypackage type is used. - Document
package_id_modesused for each package type.
- [X] I've read the CONTRIBUTING guide.
