This is just what .net needs... but the fact that it requires windows and visual studio just makes it impossible for me to use this.

it is open source, so I believe support could be put into mono etc.

"the fact that it requires windows and visual studio"

Isn't that what .NET is all about?

I don't really follow Mono, but I've been seeing tweets tonight regarding support in NuPack for mono being worked on and changes being pushed to CodePlex throughout the day.

It's definitely not tied to VS. There is an extensible core that the VS clients are built on top of. I think the mono guys will have their own client.

Awesome. This is what Codeplex should have had from the start.

I tried to get started building something similar a couple of years ago, but the VS extension API kinda defeated me.

Nupack isn't really a package management system as it stands... it's a very small part of one.

If you're interested in this space, you'd do well to check out @serialseb's OpenWrap: http://serialseb.blogspot.com/2010/07/intro-to-what-openwrap...

It's still in active development but, from demos I've seen if it, it looks very good. It seems to cover far more use cases than NuPack and has an elegant design.

@haacked said that they'll accept patches from the Mono guys for compatibility.
