How to cache sources (not binary) ?

[marcovc]

When building the docker image of my app, vcpkg downloads and builds all dependencies. I am fine with the building part, the problem is the download part: if one website of some depency is down, then I can't no longer build my app. Is there a way to supply an offline copy of the dependencies source code, and instruct vcpkg to use that instead of downloading?

thanks!

• You can just save and restore the downloads directory.
• You can configure asset caching:

Restoring the downloads directory worked just fine, thanks!
