Accelerate your NuGet.Server

Maarten Balliauw January 13, 2016 Jan 13, 2016 01/13/16

Since its inception, NuGet supports setting up custom package sources. There's the default NuGet Gallery, there's third-party NuGet hosting (see the NuGet Ecosystem), we can use local directories on our hard drive or a network UNC share (like \yourserver\nuget) and there's the NuGet.Server package that we can use to create our own NuGet ...

In the NuGet 2.5 release, we added the MinClientVersion property to the package manifest schema to allow for a package to demand the minimum version of the NuGet client that can install it. Because this feature was added in version 2.5, older versions of NuGet won't be able to recognize it. Therefore, older clients will always refuse to ...
