Neumann-A commented 2 weeks ago

boost-vcpkg-helpers has been removed. Be aware that vcpkg upgrade is not really a supported command since it is not transactional

SKNo commented 2 weeks ago

@Neumann-A I am confused : what would be the command to upgrade all updated softwares and their dependencies after a git pull Thank you

Neumann-A commented 2 weeks ago

Either use a manifest which automatically rebuilds everything (and deletes as needed) or delete your installed tree manually and rebuild everything manually. vcpkg upgrade is not transactional; it just exists for historic reasons.

Thank you @Neumann-A I've always looked at vcpkg upgrade as a usefull one-liner similar to conda update --all Is there an example for such a manifest or should I go through documentations? Thanks again

Neumann-A commented 2 weeks ago

Is there an example for such a manifest or should I go through documentations?

Manifest is just a vcpkg.json. All ports have such a file. For usage having only the dependencies field is theoretical enough. You can use --x-manifest-root=<manifest-dir> if you do not want to have the manifest in the same directory as vcpkg.
