Programming

We have a similar setup where I work (enough different to think they don't work with me, but who knows). It was done like that in our case because we ship embedded linux. Because we are building on linux and targeting linux we kept running into problems with people linking local system libraries that were not compatible with the target even though they had the same name. We eventfully wrote out own package management tool which locked things down so you can't make that mistake - the same month we hit 1.0 conan did their first public release, if canan has been 2 years sooner we would have just contributed to that instead and saved a ton of effort, but now we have too many sunk costs in our current tools and so it isn't worth changing to a new one.
