I like the examples that Scott Hansleman has on his blog. Like adding EF4-CTP4 and CompactSQL.
Me, I'll be very happy when things like the Silverlight Toolkit is able to be added seamlessly like this. And other small utils that I use like WP7Performance.dll But* *I could solve this by myself. Another feature NuPack allows is for you to pull things in from the "main" package repository from Microsoft, but you can also specify a foldershare on your network to act as a package repository. You can also create packages really easily. It is just a .zip folder with a 6 line XML metadata file. What I might end up doing is taking those small library .dlls that I use regularly (WP7 controls, linq extensions, etc.)., create my own packages of them, and put them onto a network share. Taking it further, I could create a small powershell script called *Standard WP7 tools.ps* *Add-Package WP7Performance* *Add-Package UsefulLinqExtensions* *Add-Package ninject* *etc.* That way when I create a new project I can enter that single powershell command and have my project boot strapped with my standard libraries. The fact that it is all powered by powershell could lead to some interesting ways of playing with it / setting up projects. -David Burela On 8 October 2010 15:50, Winston Pang <winstonp...@gmail.com> wrote: > I like the idea, although it's not new, since ruby had the same concept and > perl/cgi did as well I think.
