"vcpkg::zlib 1.2.11+10" doesn't exist and "vcpkg::zlib 1.2.11#10" doesn't work

Xmake Version

2.9.5

Operating System Version and Architecture

Windows 11

Describe Bug

From the docs:

add_requires("vcpkg::zlib 1.2.11+10")

Results in:

error: no version database entry for zlib at 1.2.11+10.
Available versions:
  ...
  1.2.11#10

Trying:

add_requires("vcpkg::zlib 1.2.11#10")

Will find and install the package in vcpkg, but xmake will fail when parsing the semver with the # in it.

Expected Behavior

vcpkg::zlib should be able to be installed as 1.2.11#10.

Project Configuration

add_requires("vcpkg::zlib 1.2.11#10", {alias = "zlib"})

target("deps", function ()
    set_kind("phony")
    add_packages("zlib")
end)

Why not use add_requires("zlib 1.2.11")?

[richard-sim]

I'm trying to follow the docs exactly. :) I don't know the difference between the versions in VCPkg, and since the docs specified +10, I assumed it was important for some reason.

where? it's incorrect, it should be add_requires("vcpkg::zlib 1.2.11")

Under:

After v2.6.3, xmake supports the new manifest mode of vcpkg, through which we can support version selection of vcpkg package, for example:
