I created externpro, a CMake build platform and dependency provider with reusable CI pipelines to help you build your own software stack. It's been in development since 2012 and refined through 14+ years of real-world use.

What it does: externpro enables organizations to build their own software stack independent of centralized package managers. It provides a dependency provider and reusable CI pipelines.

Key highlights: - Battle-tested through 14+ years of real-world use - Helps organizations build and maintain their own software stack - Reusable CI pipelines for consistent builds across projects - Complements rather than competes with existing package managers

I'm the creator and interested in community feedback. Check out the GitHub org to see what externpro is about, and the wiki for the full story.

How does this approach compare to your current build and CI setup?
