[question] Overriding requirements in Conan 2.0

[DProvinciani]

What is your question?

I'm migrating my project from Conan 1.59 to 2.0, and I'm getting this error because libcurl didn't upgrade to openssl/1.1.1t (used by poco).

ERROR: Version conflict: libcurl/7.86.0->openssl/1.1.1s, None->openssl/1.1.1t.

Is it still possible in Conan 2.0 to override requirements in the conanfile.txt as described here for Conan 1.59?

Reading the documentation of Conan 2.0, I only see the possibility of using the override=True in the conanfile.py. [link]

Have you read the CONTRIBUTING guide?

Hi @DProvinciani

Thanks for your question.

Yes, those things are only possible in conanfile.py. We wrote a new dedicated section in the tutorial to explain this: https://docs.conan.io/2/tutorial/consuming_packages/the_flexibility_of_conanfile_py.html

If you are interested in trying, we also created a new extension command in https://github.com/conan-io/conan-extensions, for experimenting, that automatically converts conanfile.txt to conanfile.py.

Awesome! I'll give it a try.

So, considering the answer, I close the issue.
