MSVC opensource deployment.

This just showed up in my junk mail box. Vcpkg updates: Static linking is now available https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg With 90+ libraries in its catalog, Vcpkg makes it easier to find the right open source library for Visual C++ 2015. The latest update now supports static linking. This kind of interesting: a) Does this constitute and open-source source code deployment system that perhaps we might learn from/exploit? b) I'm intrigued with the comment under "License": "Code licensed under MIT License" Boost is in this repository - I don't remember changing the Boost license. Robert Ramey

Boost is in this repository - I don't remember changing the Boost license.
Boost is not in the repository. Code that goes and downloads boost for the end user is in the repository. https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/boost/portfile.cmake Billy3 ________________________________ From: Boost <boost-bounces@lists.boost.org> on behalf of Robert Ramey <ramey@rrsd.com> Sent: Monday, November 14, 2016 10:08:58 PM To: boost@lists.boost.org Subject: [boost] MSVC opensource deployment.

The actual Boost code isn't in the repo is it? I assume the MIT license is for vcpkg code itself. -- Olaf

Partly.. As only the client, if I understand correctly, is open sourced. Not like the Conan (http://conan.io) which is fully open source including client and server. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

+Robert There is no server component to open source. It downloads the boost tar.gz from sourceforge over standard HTTP.

vcpkg doesn't really use a server, does it? -- Olaf
