Consider distribution of the library using vcpkg

[jhruby]

Hi,
It would be very cool to see your library distributed through vcpkg channel.

Thanks for your interest in Beast! I tried going through the steps for vcpkg but it was a bit too complex for me. But if you'd like to package it up (or anyone else who wants to volunteer) I would be very appreciative!

[jhruby]

I can look into that and package it. I would than need the url for certain stable version of the package. It should not point to master probably.

[vinniefalco]

Hmm... well, Beast is still in beta. There's a little more interface work to do before I can consider calling a 1.0 version. Specifically this: https://github.com/vinniefalco/Beast/issues/154

[jhruby]

Well there are other betas in vcpkg. I don't see it as a problem.

[vinniefalco]

Oh! Okay, well when b29 passes review I will create a tag for v1.0.0-b29 and we can use that. Thanks!

[jhruby]

Awesome :-)

[vinniefalco]

I've created a new tag, its called v1.0.0-b30 if you would like to try setting up the package! If you need to add files to the repository just submit a pull request. Thanks!

The tagged branch:
https://github.com/vinniefalco/Beast/commits/v1.0.0-b30

Hi, I'll look into that.

[jhruby]

I just created a pull request for Microsoft.

@jhruby You did such a wonderful job on this could you possibly be interested in doing the same for NuDB? Its quite similar to Beast in structure: https://github.com/vinniefalco/NuDB

[jhruby]

Sure I can do it :)

[vinniefalco]

Cool! I pushed a tag for 1.0.0 of the library

Here's the relevant issue, thanks for volunteering

This looks like it's done, thanks!
