Users of SDR software have spent far too much time staring at cmake builds and wondering what how to get the missing build time dependency. The package feeds from major distributions contain a lot of the popular software, but they tend to lag development significantly and lock users into specific versions. If you want to run the latest code you are back to compiling it. It does not have to be this way. Using Conan these applications and their dependencies can be managed in a modern way where users can pull binary packages when available and easily rebuild packages when needed all in a sandboxed environment.

This talk cover the following points: * What is Modern C++ Package Management * How this can simplify consumption from a SDR user perspective (I just want to play with my hardware...) * Demo of using this workflow with some packaged SDR applications * Example of how this packaging works for a library * What we can do better as developers to simplify this task
