Hello. I wanted to ask about the naming of packages in pxr/external
. The choice of boost
and python
as the package names yields libraries named boost
and python
in the downstream pxrTargets.cmake
and pxrConfig.cmake
files.
For example,
set_target_properties(gf PROPERTIES
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES "arch;tf;python;Python3::Python"
)
python
in the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES
in this case refers to the internalized boost python package produced by pxr/external/boost/python
while Python3::Python
refers to python3.x
.
While not packages in the same way, elsewhere in OpenUSD, dependencies like CLI11 are exposed as pxrCLI11
. Would there be clarifying value in exposing these packages as pxrBoostPython
and pxrBoost
instead?
This note likely applies to the pegtl
library as well which currently redies in pxr/base
.
