Repackage Package

Modified on July 26, 2024

The Repackaging API is available as both a pgutil command and an HTTP Request, and provides the programmatic ability to repackage prerelease packages by posting JSON-encoded or Form-encoded data.

pgutil packages repackage --feed=myNugetFeed --package=myNugetPackage --version=4.3.2-rc.1 --new-version=4.3.2

This API requires ProGet 2023.0 or later.

Command Specification (CLI)

The packages repackage command is used to repackage a package to a package with a different version.

The --package and --version options are always required, and the --qualifier option is required for multifile packages like Debian and RubyGems.

Repackaging a NuGet Package requires the feed (e.g. myNugetFeed), name (e.g. myNugetPackage) current version (e.g. 1.0.0-rc.1) and new version (e.g. 1.0.0):

pgutil packages repackage --feed=myNugetFeed --package=myNugetPackage --version=1.0.0-rc.1 --new-version=1.0.0

Repackaging an npm Package requires the feed (e.g. MyNpmFeed), name (e.g. myNpmPackage), scope (e.g. myScope), current version (e.g. 2.0.0-rc.1) and new version (e.g. 2.0.0):

pgutil packages repackage --feed=MyNpmFeed --package=@myScope/myNpmPackage --version=2.0.0-rc.1 --new-version=2.0.0

Note source options must also be specified unless you have the "Default" source configured, and that a feed may be instead specified in the source. See Working with Sources to learn more.

HTTP Request Specification

To promote a package, simply POST to the URL with an appropriate API Key and JSON object as the body with the following properties:

* required property.

Previous versions of ProGet used groupName and packageName instead of group and name; these may still be used, but aren't recommended.

As JSON-encoded data:

POST /api/repackaging/repackage

Content-Type: application/json

{
  "feed": "myFeed",
  "name": "myPackage",
  "version": "4.3.2-rc.1",
  "newVersion": "4.3.2",
  "comments": "This package was repackaged by an automated process."
}

As Form-encoded data:

POST /api/repackaging/repackage

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

feed=myFeed&packageName=myPackage&version=4.3.2-rc.1&newVersion=4.3.2&comments=This+package+was+repackaged+by+an+automated+process
