Although it’s not that hard to integrate NuGet in your build process, it can always be easier.
NuGettter is an extension to the Team Foundation Server 2010 build process that will perform all of the necessary versioning, packaging and deployment functions in a customizable and completely repeatable way.
Capabilities/Features:
- Includes all phases of the build process: compile, version, pre-package, package, push/deploy and publish - managed within TFS 2010 automated build
- NuGet Package and deploy features for a simple to an extremely complex library package
- Single or multiple solution builds
- Single or multiple configuration builds
- Manage versioning of the assemblies coordinated or separately from the NuGet package
- Create a package, create and push a package or create a package and push and publish to a NuGet gallery
- Build and have immediate access to the package in a test environment through inherent "Push/Deploy" feature
- Push locations include the NuGet Gallery, a local directory, network share or web site
- Use in any combination of manual, continuous integration or scheduled builds
- Ability to execute PowerShell scripts prior to packaging to organize the files (e.g., lib, tools, content) for the NuGet packaging process (pre-packaging)
- No requirement for NuGet.exe to be installed on the build machine – NuGet.exe can be held in source control and deployed only at the time of the build
- All of the above is managed through the standard TFS Build Workflow process
- Remotely store/manage package information such as version numbers, API keys, and NuSpec manifest files
- All of this is managed via a Team Foundation Server automated build process
- Includes updated build process template "NuGetterVersioningBuildTemplate15.xaml" to work with the TfsVersioning v1.5 extended versioning capabilities.
