ProGet: Feature Request: lock Repackaging to specific feeds, same as Promotions

MaxCascone

I would like to be able to "lock" the feeds that a feed can Repackage into, just like we can for the Promote action.

We use Repackaging to promote packages into a Production feed, and we only want them to ever go into a specific feed based on their source feed. There doesn't seem to be a way to restrict the target feed when Repackaging, like there is when Promoting.

This would reduce the clicks necessary and the chance for error.

Thanks!

Hi @mcascone

Just to confirm, are you referring to this field?

I didn't get a chance to test (want to confirm I understand first), but the "Target Feed" field should be either:

a be drop down of all NuGet Feeds (when "Promote To Feed" is not set)
a dropdown of two feeds (current, and "Promote To Feed")

Is that not the case? If not let's get that fixed :)

Cheers,
Steve

Hi, thanks! Yes, that's the screen I'm referring to. I see the same behavior in NuGet feeds and Universal Package feeds:

Promote Package respects the Promote To Feed setting in the source feed's Manage Feed settings:

Repackage Package does not respect the Promote To Feed setting:

We're on Version 5.3.43 (Build 4-proget53).

@mcascone thanks so much for confirming that! This may be fixed in v6 already, but I created the issue PG-2072 just in case it's not.

We should get it shipped in the next or folllowing maintenance release.

Thanks! I see on that YouTrack page that it's planned for v6.0.6. Will it not be ported back to v5? This would be motivation enough for me to upgrade. Not that I need motivation to upgrade, but it would certainly increase the priority.

Hi @mcascone,

Sorry about that. I'll get that backported to ProGet 5.3 also. This will be tracked in ticket PG-2074.

Thanks,
Rich

Hi, just wanted to say that i happened to look at the new releases available for v5, and saw that this is fixed in the latest release, 5.3.44.

Awesome! Thanks!
