    Installing packages: v9+ only possible with Nuget

    Umbraco package installation has changed in v9+ to a Nuget only mechanism.

    I'm wondering what the motivation was behind this? I assume it simplifies things and offloads much of the heavy lifting and support away from the Umbraco ecosystem and puts in the .NET space. I get that.

    Although packages were sometimes "twitchy", I previously used them on occasion to quickly move content\document types\data types etc. around [between Umbraco installations].

    I know uSync, Umbraco Deploy or a database copy, will do these things too, but they're not always convenient\available\installed\quick. Is there another way?

    It also seems a bit odd that packages can still be created when they can't be imported (am I wrong?!).

    It seems like we may have lost something here....

    Hi Anthony

    You can find out all the reasons for the move to NuGet only packages here, in this blog post: https://umbraco.com/blog/packages-in-umbraco-9-via-nuget/

    Thanks

    Cheers Paul. That satisfies both my curiosity and helps resolve the issue I was trying to overcome :)

    The "other way" I was looking for was to create a NuGet package based on a package (package.xml) created from Umbraco 10 and use that to generate an Umbraco database migration to move my content from one Umbraco instance to another (ref: https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Extending/Packages/Creating-a-Package/).

    Not exactly quick or simple, but gets the job done.

    Many thanks.
