[jira] [Commented] (MINIFI-213) Move dependencies to ExternalProject

["Andrew Christianson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFI-213?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15936353#comment-15936353 ] 

Andrew Christianson commented on MINIFI-213:
--------------------------------------------

Have we considered using git submodules for this? It would free us from having to hold copies of all the third-party code, yet would enable a full recursive clone for embedded or offline compiling. It also simplifies maintenance when it comes to updating third-party dependencies (i.e. update the submodule reference to a new upstream tag/commit), although it would add some complexity in other cases. Something to consider.

> Could we move the libs in thirdparty to ExternalProject inclusions that download the dependencies? Would this cause an impact to any users?
