How I get 3. th party dependencies from my NuGet Server in NAnt?

Question

I have some questions about .NET process automation. My idea is to use NAnt as Build Automation Tool for the Jenkins CI Server. The Jenkins is running in a Tomcat on a Debian Linux.

In my project I have some dependencies e.g. the Entity Framework. The dependencies are managed in our own NuGet Server. I need also the benefit of versioning, because not all sub projects works with the newest library version.

Question : How I get 3rd party dependencies from my NuGet Server in NAnt to run a compile?

I know there is a custom NAnt task for NuGet but I can find any documentation how to use this task.

Thanks for your advices.

Even if there is no document, you can check the source code of NAnt extension. As long as you are familiar with C#, you will find the code are self-describing.

If you are asking about nuget-update, from the source you can see:

[TaskName("nuget-update")]
public class NugetUpdateTask : Task
{
    [TaskAttribute("solution-dir", Required = true)]
    public DirectoryInfo SolutionDir { get; set; }

    [TaskAttribute("repository", Required = false)]
    public DirectoryInfo RepositoryPath { get; set; }
    //...

Usage would be:

<nuget-update solution-dir="file:///your/solution/dir" repository="file:///your-repository" />

And you probably already noticed, solution-dir is required, but repository is not.

Same for nuget-get-files.
