Visual Studio Extensions
-
I can see Visual Studio Extensions are in your roadmap. I was wondering if you can give any timescales on this? We are having to support these manually in IIS but we use ProGet quite extensively so would be great if we could use this also.
Product: ProGet
Version: 4.6.7 -
We're actually planning it in the next release (4.7) for a partnership (to be announced soon). It may come in a maintence release as a preview, depending on the 4.7 schedule.
That said... unfortunately, unlike NuGet, the "VS marketplace" uses a completely different and undocumented API (which means there is no "connector" possibility)... and you can't replace the built-in gallery anyway (Visual Studio limitation). So, it's not nearly as useful, which is why we've held off on it for a bit.

Interesting, thanks for the info. It’s not completely clear to me what the new functionality will involve. You seem to be referring to a server-side “pass-through” connector that connects to the public galleries, but this is not what we’re interested in. We want ProGet to simply host our own extensions in a way that VS recognises. The API that VS uses to talk to a gallery is standard and documented, as it’s just an atom feed ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(standard) ). Having an API to upload new extensions would be a bonus, so that we could get TeamCity “publish” jobs to update them, as we do for nuget packages.

Yes, that's precisely what it would be; an ATOM feed for private galleries that you can push extensions to. I think only MyGet supports it now, so we will look to them for how they handle pushing, so it can be consistent.
Most of our enterprise customers wanted to create a workflow like they do with NuGet.org, with only certan public packages in the feed, etc. THat is, they didn't have custom extensions, they only wanted to restrict or cache public extensions for their developers.
