+# Using conan packages across catkin packages
+Since catkin heavily modifies the cmake paths, it will not find conan packages
+referenced in catkin dependencies.
+A simple solution is to use a conanfile.txt in every package and pull in the same
+dependencies.
+Keep in mind that different versions might lead to incompatible libs.
