Idea exchange for NI Package Manager and Package Builder

[Vaaben]

Hi.

1) Anyone else have tried to create an idea for Package Manager on the idea exchange. There is a dedicated idea exchange - but I have not been successful in creating an idea, as the system complains about not having a valid "idea Label" - e.g. "The following labels are not available here: UI & Usability"

2) Should that Idea Exchange actually be renamed to Package Management - so we can put both NIPM, Package Builder idea and other .nipkg ideas in?

Hi Vaaben,

Thank you for letting you know about the issues you're having creating a new idea in the new NIPM Idea Exchange. I will bring this up to the right people to get this resolved.

I am having a similar issue with NIPM. It appears that Product or Category list is missing in that exchange yet.

Thank you all for the feedback.  We've changed the name to NI Package Management Idea Exchange and added a description explaining the types of ideas that belong there (NIPM, NIPB, NI packages, feeds, etc).  We've also added Labels.

Looking forward to hearing your ideas and seeing kudos!

Maybe this forum should also change name to "Package Management" as it anyway contains both NIPM and NIPB + others

It looks like a number of posts from https://forums.ni.com/t5/Additional-NI-Software-Idea/idb-p/nisoftware have now been copied to https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-Package-Management-Idea/idb-p/2000 Is there a way for NI to merge the copies or redirect the old copies to the new copies?

I haven't copied my post yet: https://forums.ni.com/t5/Additional-NI-Software-Idea/NIPM-Allow-feeds-to-use-nipkg-files-that-are-ho... Is it possible for NI to move it?

[Vaaben]

I must say that Inforgit to check the additional sw idea exchange when entering the idea of auto-adding in.com dependencies. If NI can move the original idea (with 29 kudos) then feel free to delete my duplicate

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all of the feedback, it has been incredibly helpful. Several of the package management-related ideas from the Additional NI Software Idea Exchange have been moved to the new Package Management Idea Exchange. If we missed anything, please let us know.

Thanks.
