I'm currently trying to speed up the build of Team City.
After the successful msbuild step, we will package our solution using nuget.exe and then publish it to a nudger feed to allow Octopus Deploy to do this.
Now I am at the stage when the step of the nuget package takes ~ 4 minutes (we have a large amount of assets), and the step of publishing nuget takes ~ 30 seconds. This takes about 75% of our total build time, so any time I can shave it off, there will be good progress.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with OctoPack and nuget.exe, and I can say that if one of the two methods is faster than the other? No hard numbers are required, a simple enough proof.
