Jack is a server, not a library. That helper library must match the server
version. Because of that, it is a totally different reasoning then when we
integrate libraries. Note that if you want to use cerbero to build part of you
base system, you are free to do so. There is config called "external_recipes"
that you may use.

config.external_recipes = {'test1': ('/path/to/repo', 1),
                           'test2': ('/path/to/other/repo', 2)}

Again bundling the library without anything to run the matching server is not
ideal.

Thanks !
