Extending the migrator utility
-
Hi friends!
Firstly, I gotta say that that package migration utility you've built into Chocolatey feeds in ProGet is awesome.
That said, I'm looking to extend it. We're doing a webinar together in a few weeks and I'm looking to build some automation that not only migrates the packages, but builds the feeds as well.
I can trivially do this with PowerShell and choco.exe, but the overhead of using choco slows the process down considerably. It would just absolutely wonderful if you could provide the secret sauce that you use to get the list of packages from the source repo before you start pulling them down into the destination.
I imagine you are skipping using choco or nuget but rather using the nuget api directly, but I can't quite grep which endpoints are in play here. I can get a single package easily.
But....I need to get every package. I can craft urls once I have a list of packages that need migrated. I just can't.....get that. Help?
We can take this offline if you don't want/can't reveal the secret sauce here :)

Hi @steviecoaster,
The current package import tool uses the NuGet API. It's not really easy to use, and I'm afraid our API access code isn't really "portable" -- it's tightly integrated into Connectors, which are tightly integrated into Feeds, etc.
Here's a guide on how to query all published packages from a NuGet feed:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/guides/api/query-for-all-published-packagesThat said, next week we will be releasing a brand-new package importer that will connect to Sona Nexus, Artifactory, AzureDevOps, ProGet, GitHub, and GitLab. These use the provider-specific APIs and work much better than what we have now.
Functionality it's the same, but now your credentials are stored in ProGet. You can also run it multiple times, and it will only import new packages. This is useful for the cases where you are transitioning usage.

Thanks @dean-houston! That's good enough for me. Looking forward to trying the new migrator once it lands, sounds really really good!
