Description

When I install 7zip@19.00, I get just the binaries but no header files.

console output: Installing (downloading, building) binaries... 7zip/19.00: Retrieving package ca33edce272a279b24f87dc0d4cf5bbdcffbc187 from remote 'cci' Downloading conanmanifest.txt Downloading conaninfo.txt Downloading conan_package.tgz 7zip/19.00: Package installed ca33edce272a279b24f87dc0d4cf5bbdcffbc187 7zip/19.00: Downloaded package revision f1df58f205aae38c705d3b86a10316a4 7zip/19.00: Appending PATH environment variable: /home/developer/.conan/data/7zip/19.00///package/ca33edce272a279b24f87dc0d4cf5bbdcffbc187/bin

Navigating to /home/developer/.conan/data/7zip/19.00///package/ca33edce272a279b24f87dc0d4cf5bbdcffbc187 reveals a bin and license folder. I would expect there to be an additional include folder (similar to other packages that I have installed).

The recipe file https://conan.io/center/7zip?tab=recipe has this line which may hint at why 92: # TODO: Package the libraries: binaries and headers (add the rest of settings)

What is the indented usage of this package, or is it a bug/missing feature?
