Advanced Dependencies Model in Conan 2.0 C, C++ Package Manager
summary
Conan 2.0 replaces Conan 1.x’s blunt dependency graph with explicit requirement traits (headers, libs, run, build, visibility), plus package types and package-id modes that distinguish embed vs non-embed behavior. The new model lets build tools (cmake as a build-require) influence package IDs, prevents hidden transitive header inclusion, and enables skipping unused binaries so CI and dev machines only fetch needed packages; demo uses conan 2.0 alpha6, shows the graph generator and working installs that reduce rebuilds and downloads.
