DefinitelyPacked is a repository for common, community-driven MetaPack packages. We are aiming to bring together high-quality packages to help SharePoint professionals and develop and deliver solutions for SharePoint - both on-premises and SharePoint online.

We created MetaPack introducing a common, open-source infrastructure for packaging, delivering and deploying SharePoint solutions.

It leverages NuGet platform to handle packaging, versioning and dependency management for SharePoint solutions. In a nutshell, MetaPack turns SharePoint customizations into NuGet packages so that we can reference other packages, version it and then push to any NuGet gallery you've got.

A beautiful part of MetaPack is packaging and deployment abstraction. You have full control over solution packaging and deployment, and we provide out of the box support for SharePointPnP and SPMeta2 - some of the most popular provisioning libraries for SharePoint.

Once you've for your solution in NuGet Gallery, you can deploy it with MetaPack API or command line interface.

Please refer to MetaPack documentation to get more understanding on how underlying infrastructure works:

• What is MetaPack?
• Getting started with MetaPack API
• Using MetaPack CLI

Firs of all, you need to install the latest MetaPack CLI. Once done, you would be able to deploy all DefinitelyPacked packages as easy as this:

metapack install `
        --id "package-id" `
        --url "http://contoso-intranet.sharepoint.com" `
        --username "[email protected]" `
        --userpassword "pass@word1" `
        --spversion "o365"

metapack install `
        --id "package-id" `
        --url "http://contoso-intranet.sharepoint.com" `
        --username "[email protected]" `
        --userpassword "pass@word1" `
        --spversion "sp2013"

DefinitelyPacked is in beta testing, so please add --source to get packages from the following NuGet feed as following:

• Build NuGet feed: https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/definitelypacked-nuget

metapack install `
        --id "package-id" `
        --url "http://contoso-intranet.sharepoint.com" `
        --username "[email protected]" `
        --userpassword "pass@word1" `
        --spversion "o365"
		--source https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/definitelypacked-nuget

More options for deployments via MetaPack CLI are available here:
