[ProGet] Connector Ordering / Precedence in ProGet

koksime.yap_5909

Hi ProGet team,

We use multiple connectors to proxy external sources and would like certain packages to be retrieved from preferred sources first.

Does ProGet support ordering or precedence for connectors? If not, are there any recommended workarounds?

Thanks!

Hi @koksime-yap_5909,

They are ordered by the name - so if orderis important to you, I guess you could always do the 10-nuget.org, 20-abc.net or whatever

Thanks,

Hi @atripp,

Just to confirm — with the naming, the feed will first retrieve content from 10-nuget.org, and only then from 20-abc.net, correct?

Thanks.

Hi @koksime-yap_5909 ,

Not necessarily - it really depends on the API query.

If the query is like "give me a list of all versions of MyPackage", then ProGet will need to aggregate local packages and connector packages to produce that list.

If the query is "give me the metadata for MyPackage-1.3.1", then the first source that returns a result is used.

In practice, NuGet asks for "all versions" a lot. So you'll get a lot of queries.

Thanks,
Alana
