This looks a lot like biicode. Lasote was big contributor to that as well. It's not clear from their docs, but if it requires a seperate repo like biicode then

This looks a lot like biicode. Lasote was big contributor to that as well. It's not clear from their docs, but if it requires a seperate repo like biicode then I think it is also doomed. A package manager can't be intrusive, ideally including a single file in the root of a project (see bower, npm, rubygems). Their example project uses a couple special made repos, which is concerning. I'd rather see the main project repos, with configuration added.

Not really. Already hosted packages like Boost, Zlib, OpenSSL, ZMQ, Protobuf are packaged and hosted without changing a single line of their respective build, and with just a single conanfile.py to define the packaging. The build systems of those libraries are heterogenous: Cmake, B2, perl+nmake... The build system is just wrapped by the conanfile.py. Those conanfiles can be also in a separate repository and retrieve sources from any origin as github, so not intrusive at all.
