When enabled in the build source configuration on MyGet, source code can be labeled with the build number. This can be done for successful builds only (recommended) as well as for failed builds. The label originating from MyGet will always be named in the form vX.Y.Z, vX.Y.Z.P or v.X.Y.Z-pre.

What does this mean for MyGet Build Services? Let’s say we’re making it easier for you! When building from a Visual Studio solution or project, there is nothing you should do: we will run package...

We’ve been looking through some of the feeds that are hosted on MyGet and have found a nice use case for both NuGet and MyGet: the open-source project OCTGN, the Online Card and Table Game Network. As a result of that, we’ve had a chat with Kelly Elton, developer and maintainer of OCTGN. Can you tell us a little bit about OCTGN? “The title of the game kind of summarizes this, but OCTGN is a...
