In the process of creating Conan packages I ran into the rather strange "disjoint_sets" library. It's a library that has been "pending" for 18 years, AFAICT. I don't know what a pending status means for this. But for creating modular packages it means it's a giant PITA to deal with the the interdependencies of "disjoint_sets", "graph", and "graph_parallel". What I want to know is:
1. What is this hidden "disjoint_sets" library/module that only has two headers? 2. Why isn't "disjoint_sets" in the "graph" library tree, especially given that it's not an official library (AFAICT)? 3. Why is "graph_parallel" not in the "graph" library also?
I do not know anything about disjoint_sets but graph_parallel was separated from graph because it represented depencendies which a user of graph need not have. BTW the maintainer of graph and graph_parallel has been absent for a long time now so maybe someone else would be willing to take over maintenance of both.
