See [the `export` command](../users/integration.md#export). The `vcpkg update` command lists all packages which are out-of-sync with your current portfiles. To update a package, follow the instructions in the command. ## How do I get more libraries? -The list of libraries is enumerated from the [`ports\`](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports) directory. By design, you can add and remove libraries from this directory as you see fit for yourself or your company -- see [Example #2](../examples/packaging-zlib.md). +The list of libraries is enumerated from the [`ports\`](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports) directory. By design, you can add and remove libraries from this directory as you see fit for yourself or your company -- see our examples on packaging [zipfiles](../examples/packaging-zipfiles.md) and [GitHub repos](../examples/packaging-github-repos.md). We recommend cloning directly from [GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg) and using `git pull` to update the list of portfiles. Once you've updated your portfiles, `vcpkg update` will indicate any installed libraries that are now out of date. ## Can I build a private library with this tool? -Yes. Follow [our Packaging zlib Example](../examples/packaging-zlib.md) for creating a portfile using a fake URL. Then, either pre-seed the `downloads\` folder with a zip containing your private sources or replace the normal calls to `vcpkg_download_distfile` and `vcpkg_extract_source_archive` with functions that unpack your source code. +Yes.

Yes. The `portfile.cmake` for a library is fundamentally a script that places the headers and binaries into the correct arrangement in the `${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}`, so to pull in prebuilt binaries you can write a portfile which directly downloads and arranges the files. |
