Hi @ericfont, thanks for the suggestions. I just updated the package so that the vcpkg root is at /opt/vcpkg and both /opt/vcpkg and /var/cache/vcpkg are configured to be owned by the group vcpkg (with GID 499). The fixed-GID method seems to be the best we can get under this particular scenario. [ref: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=241480] But I do also think that using vcpkg without a package manager makes more sense if the host machine is shared with other users.

@herbivorous.cybo It was designed so badly that there is no good way to package it completely. Any suggestions?

Was it intentional for this package to exclude the ports tree from the git repo? Without it, you cannot search for or install any libraries with vcpkg.
