A few weeks back, we announced the preview of MyGet web hooks. Today, we’re happy to say we’ve released web hooks for all our users. With web hooks, your feeds can communicate with external services whenever a specific action occurs on the feed. Events can be posted to your web server, e-mail, Twilio, Twitter, Visual Studio Online Team Rooms, HipChat and Slack. Webhooks can be used to perform actions based on an event, for example...

Chocolatey is something you need if you've ever installed, upgraded, or removed software on Windows. It is an existing, proven, almost 4 year old project. For those familiar with *nix package managers, it is a binary package manager, sort of like yum or apt-get, but for Windows. Here's how the team describes the tool on their Kickstarter campaign: Chocolatey is a tool that automates all the mundane getting and installing software work for you. You...

Earlier this week, we got the question if custom retention policies could be enforced on MyGet. More specific, the request was to be able to keep the latest 5 versions of a minor version (e.g. keep 1.0.6 through 1.0.2, but delete 1.0.1 and 1.0.0). We’ve introduced webhooks on MyGet to enable exactly this sort of scenarios! Our own retention policies run whenever a package is added to a feed, so let’s see if we can...

Sometimes you may want to pass in a value to the build scripts without hard-coding it into the build script. MyGet now supports setting additional environment variables (that can be used in custom build scripts as well as plain MSBuild). From the Build Source configuration, you can add up to 15 environment variables that will be made available during build. The open/closed eye icon next to the environment variable can be used to show/hide the...

On October 1st, the NuGet team enabled Target Framework Filtering in NuGet.org's Search API. We're happy to announce we've just flipped the switch in our back-end to enable this on MyGet feeds as well! Ever since version 2.1, the NuGet clients have been sending the consuming project's target framework in the search requests. Everyone who's using NuGet 2.1 or above is going to benefit from this server-side optimization. What does this mean for you as a...

Call it human nature, but whenever an update to a software package is available we want to know about it and install it immediately. We do this with our computer, phone and even our NuGet packages. For good reason! The packages we depend upon may be updated because of bug or security fixes and even new features we want to make use of. MyGet already supported automatically updating NuGet packages from upstream package sources, however...

One of the most requested features for MyGet so far is support for webhooks. We’re happy to announce MyGet webhooks (preview) is available today.

Only feed owners and co-owners can manage webhooks for a feed. Each webhook can be triggered for one or more event types, depending on the implementation. Webhook...
