I've just finished moving from the old-style
vcpkg
to using manifests.vcpkg
is a subrepo in my repo, so the whole process is almost turnkey:git clone
my repovcpkg\vcpkg_bootstrap.bat
Likewise, the process when pulling updates is almost turnkey:
git pull
on my repovcpkg
is updated by this pull, runvcpkg\vcpkg_bootstrap.bat
Steps 2 in both of these processes are the awkward steps.
Is there already work going on to eliminate having to manually call
vcpkg_bootstrap.bat
, or to make it light enough that it can just always be called? Right now it always goes and downloadsvcpkg.exe
, but if it only did that when it was out of date, it could always be called, and a network connection would only be necessary when it was out of date.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
