Hi, I think if vcpkg having a mirroring procedures and capability, then we can use all packages in vcpkg in large company with LAN speed, and without needed to internet.

I think it is cool features.

I think vcpkg must be provide local server (LAN access) for satisfy this requirement. and vcpkg command must be discover local server and install from that if available. like nuget and etc...

Thx

@soroshsabz , yes, it's a vcpkg feature. thanks for pointing out this!

Currently we suggest a workaround to user, it should work.

  1. Download the source code with a web browser from: .
  2. Save it inside /downloads/.
  3. Then try to install the port again.

We didn't have a final plan for this now, hopefully we could address it in future.

@PhoebeHui Did you think Package Federation point in vcpkg roadmap could resolve this requirement?
