[feature] I think we need to add a new package type for source code packages
What is your suggestion?
Hello all,
in alot of cases produced packages needs to be a source code package that its build has to be defined from the consumer side . currently we tend to use the package_type build_scripts, which for the current time serves the purpose of defining source code packages. but recently we had a bit of a strange scenrio that resulted from our improber use of the build_scripts package type as its default visible trait is false which leads to the unfortunate scenario where we have multipe source code packages with different version in the dependency graph without raising a confilict or resolution of the different requirements of the package to a suitable version . I have attached an illastrative example about this case in the attached image . so according to my current understanding I think an ideal case would be to have native support for source-code packages from conan itself .
