Add to PowerShellGet repository

[smaglio81]

Hello Mr. Wagner,

We're you thinking about adding PSMock/PShould/PSate to the PowerShellGet repository?

It looks like it just installs nuget packages. I don't think it would be too hard to support that.

Yeah, all you need is to create a psd1 (like a nuspec), then Publish-Module. You'll need PS v5.0 preview. PS v5 should be available for Windows 7 down the road.

Thanks, Doug. Do you have a link to the docs for Publish-Module? I wasn't able to find it. (I do have the april preview.)

You might not be able to publish it just yet. Though the PSGet module was released for preview, I think the gallery that it's using as its backend is still invite-only. Microsoft pushed a few of their own bits, and asked MVPs to upload some modules as well a few days before TechEd.

Once the gallery is made public, the process is pretty simple. You register your Microsoft account to the gallery and it assigns you a NuGet API key. You pass that key to the Publish-Module command, and it takes care of the rest. (Assuming that you have all the necessary items defined in your module manifest; if not, the error messages are descriptive enough to tell you what's missing.)

I guess I'll wait for the official release...

You'd need the May 2014 release. I didn't realize the MS repo was invite only though, Thanks Dave. You could set up a local Nuget repo or try MyGet for free.

I didn't realize it was invite only either. Sorry about that.

If you want to play around with PowerShellGet on Windows 7; that can also be done: http://stevenmaglio.blogspot.com/2014/05/using-powershellget-on-win7.html

Thanks everyone for the amazing responses.
