• Port soil2 is an updated version, it may/may not be sufficient for your needs?
• If not, then information about soil can be found on the Wayback Machine Archives: https://web.archive.org/web/20200728145723/http://lonesock.net/soil.html
• Download the file: https://web.archive.org/web/20200104042737/http://www.lonesock.net/files/soil.zip
  • Rename the file from soil to soil-2008.07.07.zip
  • Move the file into the [vcpkg-root]/downloads directory
  • Run ./vcpkg install soil again

• Looks like the primary site and download link shows NOT SECURE in web browser
• A web page is never loaded, just a white screen
• The host www.lonesock.net is pingable, just no web sites
• This could be a candidate to remove from vcpkg as the source can only be found on the Wayback Machine Archives?

The official page is invalid now:
This domain name has just been registered.

@StarGate-One Is web.archive.org stable? I think this cache will be deleted in the future.

[StarGate-One]

@JackBoosY I am not sure you would want to use web.archive.org for download sources - it could disappear at any time.

[BillyONeal]

Right, we should not point to archive.org; if upstream is gone the port should be delisted.

At last, I found this issue was found and solved in #13000, we will remove this port after 2021-03-01.

This has been solved in PR #17012. Please update to the latest vcpkg to rebuild this.
