On November 1, 2016, MyGet will end integration with SymbolSource.org, making our built-in symbol server the only option for symbols hosting with MyGet. When working with NuGet feeds, symbols packages can be pushed so that consumers of the package can step through the source code and integrate with Visual Studio and tools like WinDbg. MyGet has always offered two options for handling symbols packages: using our built-in symbol server or using SymbolSource.org. With the advent...

Many developer teams use MyGet for storing their continuous integration and/or nightly builds of NuGet, npm, Bower and VSIX packages. As more and more packages get added, it may become harder to manage them all. Some packages may be used in projects, while others are not. Let’s go over the options available for housekeeping. By default, MyGet keeps all package versions available on our feeds. Every package pushed is there forever, unless manually removed or...

We have just deployed a newer version of our build log viewer. When using MyGet’s build services to compile and package NuGet, npm or VSIX packages, the build log viewer now has colored output as well as line numbers that have hyperlinks. Want to share a certain line in the build log with a colleague? Click the line number and send the link so they can open the build log right where you left. By...

As it is a slower time of year and many people are taking some vacation, we decided it would be a nice time to collect some numbers around MyGet. Of course we can’t share all of our statistics, but it’s always fun to look at them. MyGet has a shared tenant, www.myget.org, hosting and serving NuGet, npm, Bower and VSIX packages. And debugger symbols, of course. This shared tenant will be the focus of this...

From a security perspective, it is always good to have secrets that are only valid for a given amount of time. This ensures that these secrets have to be rolled over more often, resulting in a better overall security policy. Today, MyGet introduces expiring access tokens and API keys to accommodate this workflow. From your profile page, you can manage your access tokens. The list of access tokens will always contain a primary key, and...

Chocolatey is a Machine Package Manager, somewhat like apt-get, built with Windows in mind. It lets us install software onto our machine, supports updates and dependencies, much like NuGet or npm do. MyGet has always supported feeds containing Chocolatey packages, making it easy to distribute software packages across teams or with customers. In this post, we’ll show you a trick on how to build Chocolatey packages using MyGet build services. It’s the least we can...

MyGet build services is a convention-based build system that converts source code into NuGet, Npm and Vsix packages. It will compile code, run tests and collect the packages that were created and add them to your MyGet feed. Sometimes, for example when using custom build scripts or using gulp or grunt to run the build, we can’t always detect which packages were created. To add these packages to your feed, you can use service messages....
