NuGet Virtual Repositories in Nexus Repository 2

If you have deployed NuGet packages to a Maven repository in the past, you can expose them to Visual Studio by creating a virtual repository as documented in Managing Repositories and setting the Provider to NuGet. The setup displayed in Figure 15.5, “A Virtual NuGet Repository for the Releases Repository” shows a virtual repository configured to expose the content of the regular Maven Releases repository as a NuGet repository, so that NuGet can access any NuGet packages deployed to the releases repository.

The NuGet feed is immediately updated as packages are deployed or deleted from the shadowed repository. To rebuild the feed for a virtual NuGet repository, you can manually schedule a Synchronize Shadow Repository task.
