Ability to apply conan config install for all recipes

[rockdreamer]

As a maintainer of a medium sized set of packages for a company using Conan/Artifactory, I'd like to be able to use something like bincrafters/templates to build them.

Our current workflow is based around applying a conan config install command before running any recipe.

Ideally I'd like to be able to add a .bincrafters-package-tools.yml file in the root of the repository with contents like:

---
conan_configuration_sources:
  - url: https://github.com/ccdc-opensource/conan-ccdc-common-configuration.git
    type: git
    args: -b main

And all builds will run conan config install --type git --args -b main https://github.com/ccdc-opensource/conan-ccdc-common-configuration.git before any other command.

I think there is already such a feature.

Bincrafters-package-tools (BPT) build upon conan-package-tools (CPT). So most features of CPT are also usable via BPT.

Did you try using the env variable CONAN_CONFIG_URL?

Edit:

There are more env variables for this:

CONAN_CONFIG_ARGS: Conan config arguments used when installing conan config

CONAN_BASE_PROFILE: Apply options, settings, etc. to this profile instead of default.

Hi @Croydon, you're right, thank you for the pointers to the info. I'll close this bug report and a PR I was preparing with this change :)
