Using multiple versions of the same package in the same dependency tree

[jsalvmaga]

Hi!

I'm trying to use vcpkg to manage my project's dependencies. From what I have read, if I'm using manifest mode, I have to specify the installed packages' versions in the top level vcpkg.json. This would be problematic, for example, if one of my project's dependencies needed OpenCV 4.4.0, and another dependency needed OpenCV 4.10.0, as I would be unable to specify both in the vcpkg.json.

I'm not sure if this is how vcpkg should behave, as I started using it quite recently, so I would like to know if there is a way to use multiple versions of the same library in the dependency tree. Perhaps this is possible, but only for libraries that provide precompiled binaries, for some reason? Or maybe a dependency's dependencies can be managed in a way that allows this?

Thanks in advance!

AFAICT a goal of vcpkg is that you use one and only one version of each dependency.
