הכל התחיל במפגש יעוץ שעשיתי בבנק הפועלים. הם עובדים בסביבת עבודה שאין להם גישה לאינטרנט, והם רצו ליהנות מהיכולות של Nuget. מיקרוסופט מאפשרת להוריד שרת שאפשר להתקין אותו בארגון, אך הוא מאוד פשוט בלי הרבה יכולות. מכאן בא לי הרעיון לנהל את זה על SharePoint. יוני (ה-CTO  של החברה בתחום SP ) מיד התנדב לפתח את זה.

ניתן להוריד את הקוד מכאן: http://sprnuget.codeplex.com/, 
נשמח לקבל פידבקים.

What is it all about?

SPRNuGet combines SharePoint 2010 powerful features such as item security, publishing and UI to help you organize your code packages using build-in features of SharePoint such as folders, item level forms, ratings and enterprise keywords. The following screenshot shows an example for the repository folder:

Once a NuGet package is uploaded to the SPRNuGet folder in SharePoint you'll be able to edit all of the metadata of the package using the following form:

The form allows you to edit the following package metadata fields:

• Title
• Description
• Summary
• Language
• Copyrights
• Version
• Icon URL
• Both the Latest Version and Absolute Latest version fields
• The project URL
• The project's License URL
• Release notes
• The license acceptance field
• Tags (from a SPRNuGet term store created during the installation process)
• Rating

Using NuGet's powerful integration with Visual Studio you'll be able to install packages straight from your local SharePoint repository!
