Its frustrating when viewing vcpkg-configuration.json files that have a baseline which refers to a specific tag as we must use a commit SHA, which doesn't convey any "when" or "version" information:
{
"default-registry": {
"kind": "git",
"baseline": "9edb1b8e590cc086563301d735cae4b6e732d2d2",
"repository": "https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg"
},
"overlay-ports": [
"./vcpkg-overlays"
],
"overlay-triplets": [],
"registries": []
}
Proposed solution
What would be better IMO would be to allow tags:
{
"default-registry": {
"kind": "git",
"baseline": "2023.08.09",
"repository": "https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg"
},
"overlay-ports": [
"./vcpkg-overlays"
],
"overlay-triplets": [],
"registries": []
}
