Hello Mathieu, You should consider adopting Timo's package as it properly installs Catch 2 via the build system (make install). On the other hand your package installs by copying directly from the source tree and fails to install some autogenerated files by Cmake which are required for downstream users to use Catch2 via Cmake's function find_package(). Best, Dimitrij.
