How do you build an Octopus Nuget Package Manually

Just wondering how you build a package for octopus manually using octopack.exe

Answer

msbuild Path-To-SLN\UticaPOC.sln /t:Build /p:RunOctoPack=true /p:OctoPackPackageVersion=5.0.0.0

So to break this down.

1. reference the MSBuild command
2. Enter FQ Path to your solution file (.sln)
3. Call the build target ("/t:")
4. Make sure you have the parameter /p:RunOctoPack=true.
5. Pass in the parameters you want. in this case, i want to set the package name as well as the package version. Octopus uses version numbers for its packages so it is a lot easier to reference.
