UPDATE: We found an issue with 1.5 when running behind some proxies that caused an “Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow” exception message and another issue with signed PS1 scripts. We’ve now posted an update (NuGet 1.5.20902.9023) that fixes the issues. I’m happy to announce the release of NuGet 1.5 just in time to make sure our roadmap isn’t a liar. I won’t bore you by repeating the details of the release, but instead direct you to the NuGet 1.5 release notes. If you are running a private NuGet.Server repository, you’ll need to update that repository the latest...
The moon goes around the earth and when it comes up on the other side, Hark! There’s a new release of NuGet! Well, this time it was more like one and a half revolutions, but I’m happy nonetheless to announce the release of NuGet 1.4. A big thank you goes out to the many external contributors who submitted patches to this release! Your enhancements are much appreciated! I’ve written up much more details about what’s in this release in the NuGet 1.4 Release Notes, but I’ll highlight a few choice things in this blog post. NuGet Self-Update...
Almost exactly one month ago, we released the Release Candidate for ASP.NET MVC 3. And today we learn why we use the term “Candidate”. As Scott writes, Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta was released just this week and as we were testing it we found a few incompatibilities with it and the ASP.NET MVC 3 RC that we had just released. That’s when we, in the parlance of the military, scrambled the jets to get another release candidate prepared. You can install it directly using the Web Platform Installer (Web PI) download the installer yourself from from...
The polls have closed and we now have a new name for our project, NuGet (pronounced “New Get” and not “Nugget” and not “Noojay” for you hoity-toity) which had the most votes by a large margin. For those who missed it, the following posts will get you up to speed on the name change: A few days ago I wrote about our need to rename NuPack I followed up with more details about the rename And then I wrote about how the community offered its own choices...
Just a quick follow-up to my last posts about naming NuPack. Looks like the community is not content to sit back and let the project be labelled with a lame name. I’ve seen a couple of community inspired names created as new issues in the CodePlex issue tracker. However, NFetch has a huge lead, but the community chosen NRocks is a close second. The name I like the best so far is NuGet. (vote for it here) As before, voting still closes on Tuesday 10/26 at 11:59 PM PDT. If you feel strongly enough around a name,...
There are only 2 hard problems in Computer Science. Naming things, cache invalidation and off-by-one errors. I’m always impressed with the passion of the open source community and nothing brings it out more than a naming exercise. In my last blog post, I posted about our need to rename NuPack. Needless to say, I got a bit of angrypassionate feedback. There have been a lot of questions that keep coming up over and over again and I thought I would try and address the most common questions here. Why not stay with...
UPDATE: The new name is NuGet
The NuPack project is undergoing a rename and we need your help! For details, read the announcement about the rename on the Outercurve Foundation’s blog. What is the new name? We don’t know. You tell us! The NuPack project team brainstormed a set of names and narrowed down the list to four names. I’ve posted a set of names as issues in our NuPack CodePlex.com site and will ask you to vote for your favorite name among the lot. Vote for as many as you want, but realize that if you vote...
Note: Everything I write here is based on a very early pre-release version of NuGet (formerly known as NuPack) and is subject to change. A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post introducing the first preview, CTP 1, of NuGet Package Manager. It’s an open source (we welcome contributions!) developer focused package manager meant to make it easy to discover and make use of third party dependencies as well as keep them up to date. As of CTP 2 NuGet by default points to an ODATA service temporarily located at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=204820 (in CTP 1 this was an...
NuGet (recently renamed from NuPack) is a free open source developer focused package manager intent on simplifying the process of incorporating third party libraries into a .NET application during development. After several months of work, the Outercurve Foundation (formerly CodePlex Foundation) today announced the acceptance of the NuGet project to the ASP.NET Open Source Gallery. This is another contribution to the foundation by the Web Platform and Tools (WPT) team at Microsoft. Also be sure to read Scott Guthrie’s announcement post and Scott Hanselman’s NuGet walkthrough. There’s also a video interview with me on Web Camps TV...
