New open source dependency manager on the scene (Opensource.com)

At Opensource.com, Jordi Mon introduces the biicode project, an open-source dependency-management system for C and C++ applications that is akin to Ruby Gems or the Python Package Index. It is a challenging goal, he says, "because there are approximately 4 million C/C++ developers, and both languages represent up to almost 20% of the world's code." The project was started as a proprietary service, and only recently transitioned into an open-source project.
