QPM support #202

Open Asxer opened 6 years ago

It would be amazing to have ability to add your client through Qt Package Manager

https://www.qpm.io/

Do you plan on doing support for this?

+1 if it could be also packaged on linux (at least debian), mac (homebrew), and a windows dll binary

I'm not sure if it a good practice to pull anything to system through apt-get/brew because it just a code, not complete application. Also It's not convenient to build any package separately to get dll and attach it to project. You need to build dll for windows, so for linux, dylib for mac os and store it all in repo or pull all code and add it to repo. Last case contains problem of version upgrading of packages. C++ long ago it's time to go into the 21st century and refuse to make each package separately, and use same managers like npm, composer, gem, cocoapods and other. It's amazing to have qpm and conan for c++, but most of cpp-plugins don't support them. It's huge problem of c++ community.
