High Level Overview of Change
This change updates a script in the documentation to automatically infer the version of a patched Conan dependency from the
conan.lockfile.Context of Change
To avoid keeping version numbers in sync across multiple locations, we can relatively easily extract the version number of a dependency we patched in our own Conan Center Index fork by parsing the lock file.
This change is using
sedto do the extraction, as the command will work on both Linux and macOS. In contrast, forgreptheoPflag is needed, which isn't available on macOS; this can be remedied by runningbrew install grepand then also modifying the command to useggrepinstead; this is a lot of effort. Naturally, other solutions exist too, butsedseemed simplest for this purpose.Type of Change
.gitignore, formatting, dropping support for older tooling)
