What are the current offerings for .NET package management. Which are you using and what are the pros and cons?
Some examples out there today are:
Nu
OpenWrap
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm referring to package management systems such as gem, apt-get, and dpkg.

Hornget is gone, are there any other package managers like hornget that you can download the trunk versions of NH3 / FluentNH together?
Manually putting the two together is tedious and from what i can tell neither Nu or OpenWrap have the two trunks together :(

Using the NuPack addin and installing the NInject MVC 3 package results in the following compile error in the generated NinjectMVC3.cs file.
The name 'MvcServiceLocator' does not exist in the current context
The sample video David Ebbo posted shows it working just fine at 09:43.
Here is the currently generated class:

So when planning new projects is it safe to use NuPack to handle dependencies? When I say safe, will it stick around? Or is it going to just be a hyped project that dies (i.e. Google Wave)? Is there really a place, or need for dependency management in .NET?
If not, what is the recommended way to handle dependencies?

I'm trying to find documentation on how to use the MvcScaffold package on nuPack, but I can't find anything anywhere.
I know I have basic intellisense support in the Package Management Console, but I want to do something a little more complicated than your typical scaffolding.
I was hoping there would be some documentation somewhere.

System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.InitialSessionState' from assembly 'System.Management.Automation, Version=1.0....
Can NuPack be installed on Visual Studio 2008?

I wonder if it is possible to use nupack to only store references to the required packages in version control (only the package.config and ignore the packages folder).
Is there a way to tell nupack to (re)download all the referenced packages in the various package.config files? Or something similar which could be put into a build script...
In Visual Studio, nupack adds a power-shell window called the Package Manager Console. I am thinking that this would be a good place to run source control commands (I'm using Mercurial). However, the default working directory is my users folder, so I need to navigate to my code folder every time I load a new project.
I am wondering if t...
