Using NuGet to handle packages

[lynnroth]

Is there any support planned for using NuGet to handle packages?

It would be nice to have new packages added to vault automatically, or at least have an easy way to add everything in.

I'm assuming you're using NuGet as a add-in to Visual Studio, correct?

If your project is under source control already, when you have NuGet add items to the project does it update the .proj or .sln file? If those get updated, then Visual Studio should run its algorithm to decide if it will send us the command to add it to source control.

Correct, using NuGet as a VS add-in.

When you install a new package it adds a new reference to the csproj file:

<Reference Include="Elmah">
<HintPath>..\..\packages\elmah.corelibrary.1.2\lib\Elmah.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

It adds a directory at the solution level called "packages" and adds a subdirectory for each package.

Those files (packages and down) don't get added automatically.

Another customer has a response from the makers of NuGet. Check out this thread here: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic ... 48&t=17616.
