| ### Resolution | ||
|
|
||
| To ensure that transitive dependencies like `X` are installed without their default features, you need to promote them to direct dependencies in your top-level manifest and explicitly disable their default features. Modify your `vcpkg.json` to include `X` directly with `"default-features": false`: |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This instruction doesn't lead to the desired resolution when the user needs third port Z which depends on X but lacks the "default-features": false property on the X dependency just because Z's maintainers weren't aware of the default features (at that time).
- The user can't override the behavior.
- The user will face difficulties to realize that this is a port bug in
Z. - The
Zmaintainers have no tool support to check which dependencies have default features - The
Zmaintainers have no way to express that they really want to depend on default-features.
All up to brainware.

I agree with @dg0yt s comments: You basically have to remember which ports do have default features. Considering that this may change over time, it's almost impossible to avoid the kind of bug @dg0yt describes. Given that default features often lead to much more ports being built, I think this feature should be refined or entirely removed. |
