Hello, is there are plans to create vcpkg packages feed support?

I haven't heard of vcpkg before, and it's not listed on our Other Feed Types page - so that probably means you must be the first person to ask :)

Can you share some more information about vcpkg? It looks new... how does it compare to Conan?

Thanks,
Alana

vcpkg is a package manager developed by Microsoft. It's similar to Conan but can be easily integrated with Visual Studio after installation. It also offers very simple integration with CMake, making it easy to manage C++ libraries. Also it is more simple than Conan.

@pariv_0352 oh interesting - for some reason I thought NuGet was used for C++ packages...

I just did a quick look, and it doesn't look like vcpkg supports private registries; it only looks for package files on disk (share drive?) or in a Git repository:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/maintainers/registries

So I guess the first step would be to ask the vcpkg team to create a package registry :)
