Meu héroi, o conan tava me espancando aqui. Mais um inscrito, gostei do seu conteúdo.

How this binary caches deals with security? How easily is to get rogue code from a perpetrator?
How this works with third parties we need dynamically linked with libraries on the system?

This reminds me of Rust's build file but it combines the Cargo file with it.

It was good, but it would have been better if you had covered all the things you said you weren't going to cover. A more detailed and comprehensive guide to conan is definitely lacking. Some people just don't learn as well from reading documentation as they do from a video tutorial of someone who truly grasps the concepts.
