Overview
Visual Studio 2015
I have set up my own local nuget server as per Microsoft's instructions. I have it up and running and can get Visual Studio to pick it up. The only problem is that Visual Studio will only pick up my packages if it points to a local directory that I'd rather it didn't.
Problem
Based on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/hosting-packages/local-feeds Microsoft advises that if you set up your own local nuget feed that this directory structure/file naming convention is best.
$myserver\packages\packageID\version\packageID.version.nupkg
I have followed this and currently have a directory structure/file like below
C:\NugetServer\packages\MyCompany.MyProjectName\1.0.6498.30963\MyCompany.MyProjectName.1.0.6498.30963.nupkg
I then point Visual Studio to C:\NugetServer\packages (ie I add my own local server as a nuget server with the C:\NugetServer\packages path) and search for MyCompany.MyProjectName and get no results returned, however if I point it to
C:\NugetServer\packages\MyCompany.MyProjectName it will pick up the MyCompany.MyProjectName.1.0.6498.30963.nupkg
Obviously I don't want a structure like C:\NugetServer\packages\ where all my assemblies are dumped given there is potential for collisions between various assemblies sharing the same version. Anyone any ideas what I have done wrong here? How can I get Visual Studio to search my packages directory for packages?
