Just to break down your complaints. 1. Conan does not require a server. If a project contains a conanfile.py with build instructions, you can also run `conan create` from a project's source repository (no server required). 2. You can easily force build dependencies with the `--build *` flag

Interesting. Regarding (1), does this mean you have to download the dependency from GitHub by hand, then put it into the cache before you can "install" it?

  Exactly, without a server to fetch dependencies from you can still manage your local cache.

    I think this misses the point though. You shouldn't have to "prepare" all of the dependencies you might require since this could be such a large graph.
