This package vendors an assortment of header-only C++ libraries for use in Bioconductor packages.
The use of a central repository avoids duplicate vendoring of libraries across multiple R packages,
and enables better coordination of version updates across cohorts of interdependent C++ libraries.
This package is minimalistic by design to ensure that downstream packages are not burdened with more transitive dependencies.
All vendored libraries are stored in [`inst/include`](inst/include) and can be used via the usual `LinkingTo` mechanism.
The corresponding license for each library is stored in [`inst/licenses`](inst/licenses).
To add new libraries or to update existing versions of the vendored libraries,
maintainers of **assorthead** should edit [`inst/manifest.csv`](inst/manifest.csv) and run [`inst/fetch.R`](inst/fetch.R).
