I maintain the osm2pgsql package in pkgsrc, which is the official packaging
system on NetBSD,but also operates on about 20 systems. (I use it to load
geofabrik extracts of Massachusetts into postgis, for use in qgis). I am in
general in favor of de-vendoring, and a quick check shows that many of these
are not yet in pkgsrc (we do have catch2 3.7.1). I see that as a clue that
they are not widely used -- adding packages (for upstreams with reasonable
build systems) is easy, and if they were a dependency of something else they
probably would have been added (we have about 20K packages). I'll have a look
at the list and see what can be added.
It's not clear if the code can build with catch2 v3, or if there is a
requirement for catch2 v2. I understand your point about "development
dependency" but pkgsrc has the idea that one should be able to run tests for
any package ("make test") without understanding them, as a user, and that this
is important because of the wide variety of operating systems and CPU types.
I would suggest that Debian, Homebrew, vcpkg is a subset of packaging in
general, covering only part of the landscape even if most users, and would
suggest Fedora, maybe Suse, FreeBSD ports, pkgsrc as well for assessing.
It would be nice to edit in the upstream homepage/repo above, for each package.
(I understand where you are coming from about fmt. Waiting for now and
stopping seems like a good plan.)
