oh the pun ;)

just an easy question: can teamcity publish the nightly on nuget.org too, in case it has new commits?

Seconded.

Anyone cloning sources, and compiling it has to manually add the teamcity server or it will not find dependencies.

Your TC server tends to be less than reliable, especially while it’s compiling.

Switching back and forth from alpha to beta is tedious.

But let’s hear your argument: what’s the rationale of having alpha dependencies on a different feed than beta dependencies?

Well simply to not spam nuget.org with thousands of packages. Also many other projects use the same policy using a private feed for daily builds. So adding just those few lines like

  <packageSources>
    <add key="vvvv package source" value="http://teamcity.vvvv.org/guestAuth/app/nuget/v1/FeedService.svc/" />
  </packageSources>

to a nuget.config file never seemed like that big of a hassle to me… but if you guys insist I’ll add it to my todo list ;)

Ah, cool, didn’t know this existed. Might have saved me some headaches with appveyor. This is worth mentioning in the top post while you serve private nugets!

Ofc it doesn’t fix the perf issues of vvvv’s TC server for alphas.

elias, can you give a step by step instruction on how to work on some existing code from the addonpack. let’s say the bulletphysics. can nuget be helpful to quickly get it running again ?

i tried and it gives me weird compile errors, slimdx not found, plugininterfaces not found …although nuget installed them successfully, green check.

visual studio 2013 i have…

btw. i wonder why so many cool plugins “just” end up in contributions and never get contributed to the addonpack. my guess is, the process is too complicated.

well, at least for me, i switch the dev machine all the time, re-install windows etc. and going through the 9 steps (or more) to work on some addonpack compatible stuff is just not very compelling.

isn’t there an easier way ? what about someone drops contributed plugins to the addonpack ? :)

top!

would be cool to have VVVV.NODES also as a nuget-package (as it’s needed by the imagepack)

+1 for VVVV.Nodes

i saw the last published packages are from the 27.11. and have a version of 31.3 current alphas are nightly and most current version as of now is 31.5

this is not intended, is it? because i can see no reason to prefer an outdated alpha to both a most recent alpha and the last proper beta

thanks, did not see the option.

when downgrading to a stable release I needed to go over the Package Manager Console (Tools->Library Package Manager->Console) and selecting the vvvv package source (and ofc the correct default project)

PM> get-package -listavailable

this should show you the most recent stable relases

PM> install-package vvvv.plugininterfaces

this installs the most recent stable release of e.g. the plugin interfaces

so far so good, nuget seems to be really nice so far. i just tried myget.org, which calls itself a nuget-as-a-service-cloud-hoster. it even has a build thingy, that can grab a source from github or bitbucket and try to compile it. once you add the vvvv feed to its sources. keeps on telling me that it was successful, even though the log is long with errors…

it would be really nice if all packs for vvvv could be delivered this way, so lets see what pops up.

for vvvv we could build up a method using github api that however would require you to store binaries on github. so you would still need to search for a term and the vvvv package manager would only list repos with a specific file in it like “.v4pack” that would look something like

{
    "PackageName" : "something",
    "vvvversion" : "50 alpha 34.101",
    "Addonpack" : true,
    "Dependencies" : [
        "/* url to a git repo */"
    ],
    "Folder" : [
        {
            "Source" : "/folder/on/github", 
            "Destination" : "%VVVV%/packs"
        }
    ],
    "File" : [
        {
            "Source" : "/folder/on/github/file.txt", 
            "Destination" : "%VVVV%/packs/something/file.txt"
        }
    ],
    "ShellExecute" : "some command"
}

So vvvv would clone git temporarily copy above marked files to their place then delete the temporary clone. Also there can be a shellexecute if the pack requires any drivers or compilation. It would be also nice to have a primitive api for the vvvv site so that vvvversion there could do more than just warn you about needed version of vvvv and addonpack hmm i will actually start this today
