In C++ everyone is a combination of developer, tester, package maintainer and deployer. According to my experience, even the best package repos like conan or vcpkg's still lack many important packages and I still need to write my own scripts. The underlying problem is that it takes much more time for a maintainer to create a package description file compared to other languages because of missing dependency list or implicit version requirements, so community (or even a company's funding) simply doesn't work. The end of nightmares can only come from the adoption of modules (expected to appear in C++20) or hiring a number of specialized full-time C++ packagers with fundings at scale of millions from the committee/some organizations/whatever.
