Make MyGet feed more discoverable

[devlead]

Make "nightly" NuGet packages available in the MyGet gallery.

So what would need to be done here to make them available in the MyGet gallery? Read the links, but I might be a little bit stupid :)

If you go here:

https://www.myget.org/gallery

and do a View Source, you will see that the MyGet Gallery is announcing, with the aid of the <link /> all the feeds that exist on MyGet. So, if you really wanted to, you could do:

Install-Package DiscoverPackageSources
Discover-PackageSources -Url "http://www.myget.org/gallery"

To add all the NuGet Feeds that MyGet hosts into your Visual Studio instance, not really something that I would recommend :-)

However, if you took the appropriate link and added it to your own website, let's call it http://www.cake.com, then people could do:

Install-Package DiscoverPackageSources
Discover-PackageSources -Url "http://www.cake.com"

And your MyGet Feed for cake would get added to Visual Studio.

HTH.

Ah, I understand :)
Thanks!

What would be a good discovery package source?

• http://cakebuild.net/?
• https://github.com/cake-build?
• Both?

I am not sure that you could add the <link /> to the second one, could you? That page is controlled by GitHub.

The first one is your page, which you could add the <link /> to, so I would go with that.

Yes, you're absolutely right :)
