Bring powershell cmdlets outside visual studio

[tomkuijsten]

We are trying to automate the update package proces of in-house packages through a powershell script. The commands we need (e.g. update to a specific version) are not exposed in nuget.exe, only by the powershell cmdlets in visual studio. Why isn't it possible to bring those cmdlets outside visual studio?

Because these commandlets depend on visual studio environment to run. We don't plan to bring them out of visual studio.

If there is a specific feature you are missing in nuget.exe we will gladly add it. Going forward with project.json we are obsoleting many of the reasons for these cmdlets.

I understand your point of view. I'll add another issue as question about my situation.
