Hello, all. I don't know if this has been discussed already, but I think it would be interesting to have some Frameworks available on Conan.io[1]. Conan is a package manager, much similar to Rust's Cargo or Python's pip, except it's distributed. Inqlude[2] has something more or less in the same vein, but the advantage of Conan in this case is that the developer wouldn't be restricted to Qt-only libraries, which would be very useful for cases where the application only uses one or maybe two frameworks. I'm cautiously confident that it would boost the adoption of KDE frameworks by "casual" users.
Since Conan is distributed, I think it's possible to provide a KDE Conan server to host the frameworks. Alternatively, which should be easier, we could just upload some frameworks and their dependencies to Conan.io and see if it works. I'll try to setup a KArchive conan package myself and either setup a server myself or upload the package to Conan. I'm not promising anything, but I'll be back later if I have any interesting results. I'll also be looking at alternative systems like cget[3], et al.. Any thoughts?
