A C++ commandline for use in servers and chat software. Provides very simple asynchronous input/output.
2) Why not replxx? It is BSD licensed.

Dependencies Belong in Version Control
vcpkg may expire assets after 1.5 years, so achieve long-term reproducibility you will need to cache your dependencies.... Somewhere. Not sure what the expected solution is.

My first Software Release using GitHub Release
There were various approaches recommended depending on our language and ecosystem. My classmates who developed using Node.js were recommended npm, and PyPI or poetry for Python. Since my program is written in C++, I was recommended to look into one of vcpkg or conan, but I ultimately did not use either package manager.

Anyone else frustrated with Conan2?
Which dependencies are not in vcpkg? We can ask them to add it. It’s pretty easy just open an issue there https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues .

Configuring incomplete due to CMake Error(missing OpenCVConfig.cmake ProtobufConfig.cmake and TIFF etc.)
Dear Fictrac team, I am hoping to install Fictrac in our windows 11 x64 laptop (Visual Studio 2019, cMake 3.26.4). I followed the installation guideline on github page fictrac and used the latest vcpkg

Why does Arch Linux have a vulkan-devel group, but does not package the LunarG Vulkan SDK?
This works fine if one wants to do stuff like clang main.cpp -lvulkan, or even find_package(Vulkan REQUIRED) in CMake, but it doesn't define VULKAN_SDK, and therefore doesn't work with vcpkg's Vulkan support, for instance. A fair bit of Vulkan development, tutorials, etc. assume that the entire SDK is installed, as-is.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing replxx and Vcpkg you can also consider the following projects:
linenoise - A small self-contained alternative to readline and libedit
conan - Conan - The open-source C and C++ package manager
tiny-utf8 - Unicode (UTF-8) capable std::string
CPM.cmake - 📦 CMake's missing package manager. A small CMake script for setup-free, cross-platform, reproducible dependency management.
awesome-hpp - A curated list of awesome header-only C++ libraries
Boost.Program_options - Boost.org program_options module
Lingo - Text encoding for modern C++
Ncurses - ncurses Git mirror
nuspell - 🖋️ Fast and safe spellchecking C++ library
vulkan - Haskell bindings for Vulkan
pixel - Simple 2D Graphics based on standard and portable OpenGL
meson - The Meson Build System
