What happend to GitFlowVersionTask?

[babadofar]

Hi,
We have used GitFlowVersionTask as part of our build procedure for some time now, all of a sudden the package is no longer available on nuget!? Trying to replace it with GitVersionTask, and get various errors,I will put those in a separate issue. But really, what happened? Need to have GitFlowVersionTask back on nuget, at least untill GitVersionTask functions with TeamCity..

It got merged into http://www.nuget.org/packages/GitVersionTask/

@SimonCropp was the nuget package for GitFlowVersionTask unlised on nuget.org?

[SimonCropp]

@gep13 they are hidden. not unlisted. so people can still retrieve it to do a build. and it was done early last year

[SimonCropp]

we actually never even made it to a version 1.0 of GitFlowVersionTask

[gep13]

Ah, perfect. So in the interim, @babadofar could still make use of:

http://www.nuget.org/packages/GitFlowVersionTask

Ideally though, we will hopefully get GitVersionTask working correctly, I have seen some other issues raised by @babadofar

[SimonCropp]

yeah i suspect the errors would have been cause by some intermittent nuget down time. Note to see the list http://www.nuget.org/packages/GitFlowVersionTask u will need to login

[babadofar]

OK, this is working now. Quite strange that this was the only unavailable package, but, that's life isn't it. ;)

nuget install GitFlowVersionTask -Version 0.8.0 -NoCache
Installing 'GitFlowVersionTask 0.8.0'.
Successfully installed 'GitFlowVersionTask 0.8.0'.

@babadofar can you raise the errors which prevented you from using GitVersionTask?

[babadofar]

Sure, the issue is here #436
And it boils down to avoiding the problems stemming from libgit2sharp not supporting ssh.
We use a "prefetch all branches" script, and need the ability to set the nofetch option on the GitVersionTask, which will be in the next release. So all in all, we're ready to upgrade to use GitVersionTask from the next stable version:)

Good news :)

Sweet! Glad we got this sorted out :-)
