Is there way I can get static download link (for nuget) from codeplex?

I need static download link for nuget itself (Command line thing) , ideally for nuget source tarball.

The only way I can see to get nuget from source is via git but I can't be sure in git version, I can get git version on some commit but I even want to avoid git requirement so I need to know if there are already some places where I can get it.

Solution

  • The pattern for the download zips is:

    http://download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com/Download/SourceControlFileDownload.ashx?ProjectName=*projectNameHere*&changeSetId=*setIdHere*

    So for the current build as of 7/28/2013 11:33 CST the link is

    http://download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com/Download/SourceControlFileDownload.ashx?ProjectName=nuget&changeSetId=2764f6c71ea206a60eb136c27c04005975712c19

    You must include the changeset id and there is no automatic way I know of to find the latest id. Getting the id's themselves is easy, just click the History button and the changeset id will be in the address of the changeset you choose.
