vcpkg-freeze

This tool creates a file system registry for the currently installed vcpkg packages (in manifest mode only).

The idea here is to avoid having all of vcpkg installed as a git submodule.

Usage

In a project managed with a vcpkg manifest:

vcpkg install --x-feature=feature1 --x-feature=...
vcpkg-freeze

Its important to note that if your project has optional features you should specify all features to vcpkg install with --x-feature flags so that all required ports are frozen.

To Do

This won't work if packages are installed from a non-default registry. It would be nice to support those eventually.
