During December 2024, Carl Smedstad enhanced the packaging process for the fmtlib/fmt repository by implementing selective component installation using CMake. He introduced a modular approach that allows users to install core components and documentation separately, increasing flexibility for downstream packaging and distribution. By maintaining backward compatibility, Carl ensured that existing installations remain unaffected when no specific component is requested. His work focused on build systems and CMake scripting, laying the foundation for future component-based packaging. The changes were thoroughly documented, simplifying future maintenance and extension. This contribution addressed the need for more granular installation options without introducing breaking changes.
