Promote Package if Build is promoted to new stage
-
Hi there,
are there any possibilities to promote a package (internal feed) to next feed if the build is promoted?
The reason for this question is that my idea for a good workflow would be as followed:
- Developer commit changes in VCS
- CI-System builds and
- upload package to feed universal-build
- creates new build in proGet with previously uploaded package in state Build
- If the package will be tested the test-engineer could promote the build to state Test
- now it would be nice if the packages (possible configurable) also would be promoted to another feed
Actually we should start a lookup for each package in the Package in the Build after promotion and should promote each Package manually (over Web-UI or pgutil-CLI) to another feed.
Would this be a possible workflow solution or there any other suggestions to work with package/build/promotion?
Best regards,

Hi @it_9582,
First and foremost, we don't recommend the "package promotion" feature as a means to indicate which "stage" (i.e. tested quality) a package is in relative to a CI/CD pipeline.
Instead, repackaging should be used:
https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget/packages/repackagingHaving multiple feeds is fine; we do that for
ProductsandPreReleaseProductson proget.inedo.com, but that's to make it "harder" for someone to accidently use a prerelease version. Otherwise, you can just use one feed and have retention policies cleanup the "-ci" builds.As for having the "build promotion" feature in ProGet be used as a workflow engine (i.e. to trigger actions upon promotion), I don't think we would consider that. At the most, we would do a webhook of sorts... though it doesn't make a ton of sense to be honest.
The reason is that ProGet isn't intended as the "source of truth" for build status - the idea is that you would have something like a pipeline in BuildMaster) update the statuses in ProGet.
The main benefit to having this status in ProGet is retention of builds/SBOMs.
Hope that helps,
Steve
