Entt: vcpkg

[DavidHamburg]

Hi @skypjack ,

thanks for your great library! I would like to use your library in one of our projects. To be able to use entt more easily I would like to publish it to the package manager vcpkg and maybe later to arch user repository.

Is that in your interest?

Hi @DavidHamburg ,

I'm glad you like my project.
Can I ask you in what kind of project you want to use EnTT?

Is that in your interest?

As far as I can see, you already did all the work. I don't see any reason to say _no_. :-).
Unfortunately I'm short in time to be able to maintain also the stuff you're going to publish. However, if you're willing to help with this, it would be great to see EnTT published for vcpkg and Arch!!

Thank you very much for your help so far!! Really appreciated.

It's not the typical gaming context - we would like to use EnTT to develop a graphical 2D diagram editor.

Great :) I will make a pull request in the vcpkg repository and inform you when its published. You could mention it in the README if you like. It's a nice way for new users to get in touch with EnTT.

Sure, I can update the packages when you release new versions.

I got in touch with a lot of people that use EnTT out of the typical gaming context actually.
It's pretty common and I'm glad you find it's the right tool for your task. Let me know if you publish the software online, I'd like to look at it. Also feel free to contact me if you need help with EnTT.

You could mention it in the README if you like.

Absolutely!! I was going to ask you to ping me once published. It would be great. Of course, I'll give you all the credit for that too.

Good. Welcome on board. Really appreciated.
You can either leave this issue open to fill it with another comment when it's done or close it and open a PR or another issue to update the README. Probably the latter is the way to go, but feel free to do it the way you prefer.

Thank you again for your help.

Great, I will start another pull request with an updated README once the PR in vcpkg has been accepted.

Hi,

Would you mind to update the package to v2.5.0?
Otherwise I can make the PR next week.

Thank you.

Hi,

Sorry, I haven't seen the updated version. Now I'm subscribed to the rss feed to get update notifications.

Would you mind to update the package to v2.5.0?

Done, https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/pull/3287

Don't worry. I just noted that it was not up-to-date but I'm out of home, so I cannot do it.
Thank you very much for your help.

I'm also thinking of a way to automatize it, but I've not had enough time to work on it so far.

I'm adding you to the contributors list (branch experimental). Thank you very much for your help so far.
