[feature request] Add libcmaes to conan

[phbasler]

Hi @beniz ,

Did you consider publishing libcmaes as a conan package ( https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/uploading_packages/artifactory/conan_center_guide.html )?

It would be a nice way to include libcmaes in other repositories without having to build it ourselves.

Hi @phbasler no, I don't have the bandwidth for this, though I can keep maintaining the basics as long as it's needed.
But please contribute it if you can, this seems useful!

Hi @beniz

I can help here. To be able to request PR to add new packages, they require to ask for access in a special issue ( https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/docs/how_to_add_packages.md#request-access ).

Do you want to do that so you can add modifications/changes in the future? I can do the fork and local modifications

Hello @phbasler Thanks for asking. Would you be interested in taking ownership of that conan package, and even help around a bit more ? If it requires that we grant you more access to the this repository, I guess this could be arranged.

@nikohansen Hi! Though waiting for @phbasler approval, would that be OK to add Philipp to maintainers ?

Again my apologies for the lag with my reponses, my plate is full these days!

Hi @beniz ,

Sure, I can help with that part. I don't know if I have time to help with code specific questions, but I can help with setup related parts. I play a lot with different CIs on https://github.com/phbasler/BSMPT at the moment (codecov, automated tests on windows/mac/ubuntu, lgtm, benchmarking) and could also bring those parts here if you want to add some CIs for PRs.

And no worry about the response time. This is nothing urgent for me.

@beniz After you approve the 3 PRs (#234 , #235 , #236 ) it would be useful if you could make a new release (0.10.1 is enough), so that it is easier to create a conan package for the release with the adjustments for conan through the PRs.

Any news on this? I checked conan center and didn't find the package.

[beniz]

Ooops, this got lost in my board of tasks... Let's see if I can fix this.

[phbasler]

@Luk0r In case you can help:
I have started it at conan-io/conan-center-index#24202 but some profiles with conan 1 are not working.

[phbasler]

@beniz So the conan package is now building and is awaiting for their approval.
FYI I had to apply a patch file for it to work. This is a subset of the changed I suggested with #234 .
The diff file is in the PR.
