At Opensource.com, Jordi Mon introduces
the biicode project, an
open-source dependency-management system for C and C++ applications
that is akin to Ruby Gems or the Python Package Index. It is a
challenging goal, he says, "because there are approximately 4
million C/C++ developers, and both languages represent up to almost
20% of the world's code.
" The project was started
as a proprietary service, and only recently transitioned into an
open-source project.
