Octopus nuget feed duplicated package names

0

I deploy several projects at one Octopus Deploy server. Some of the project names (i. e. Web) are the same between different Octopus projects. So when I publish these packages to a Octopus nuget feed, I guess they will overwrite each other (in case of the same version number). So what can I do about it? Is there any way to specify a namespace or prefix for packages for a specific Octopus Deploy project?

In order to control the name of the NuGet package to keep it unique, set the id tag within the .nuspec file. Then when you create the NuGet file it will be named accordingly.

e.g.

Here I have a .nuspec named the same as my project (Octopack convention), but the id tag has a string containing the name of the NuGet file I want to create.

.nuspec file

This is being built using TeamCity and it produces a NuGet package with the id I specified.

.nupkg file

Rather than pushing to the in-built Octopus NuGet feed I am pulling from the TeamCity NuGet feed

octopus setting

So, the key is using the id tag in the .nuspec file

See the Nuspec Reference for further details.

Hope this helps
