+Notes on how we can update the different packages for ixwebsocket.
+
+## VCPKG
+
+Visit the [releases](https://github.com/machinezone/IXWebSocket/releases) page on Github. A tag must have been made first.
+
+Download the latest entry.

+Now go punch those values in the vcpkg ixwebsocket port config files. Here is what the diff look like.

+You will need a fork of the vcpkg repo to make a pull request.
+
+```
+git fetch upstream
+git co master
+git reset --hard upstream/master
+git push origin master --force
+```
+
+Make the pull request (I use a new branch to do that).
+
+```
