Hello,

is it possible to promote a powershell package from PSGallery to an internal repo including all depedencies?

Hi @d-gleissner_8620 ,

The best way to handle this scenario is with two feeds (unapproved and approved packages); install from the unapproved in your development environment, and then to promote packages (in bulk) from the unapproved to the approved feed.

Unfortunately, it's not feasible for a tool like ProGet to handle dependency resolution; a dependency is specified as a range (for example, PackageA requires PackageB 3.2 or later), and it's up to the environment (i.e. the client doing the installation, PSGet) to determine which dependencies are currently available and not available.

For example, if you already had "PackageB 3.3" installed, then PowerShell would not install it, even if "Package B 3.4" is the latest version. It gets even more complicated when it comes to platform dependencies and all that. Ultimately, ProGet can't have such environmental knowledge.

hoep that helps!

Cheers,
Alana
