NuGate.Build 0.1.2

dotnet add package NuGate.Build --version 0.1.2

NuGet\Install-Package NuGate.Build -Version 0.1.2

This command is intended to be used within the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio, as it uses the NuGet module's version of Install-Package.

<PackageReference Include="NuGate.Build" Version="0.1.2">
  <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
  <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers</IncludeAssets>
</PackageReference>

For projects that support PackageReference, copy this XML node into the project file to reference the package.

<PackageVersion Include="NuGate.Build" Version="0.1.2" />

NuGate.Build

A dependency age gate for NuGet, enforced at build time. The build fails if any resolved package version — direct or transitive — was published less than N days ago (default 7), unless explicitly allowlisted.

One line in Directory.Build.props gates every project in the repo, dev machines included:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="NuGate.Build" Version="0.1.2" PrivateAssets="all" />
</ItemGroup>

For CI, consider NuGate.Tool as well — it runs nugate check between restore and build, before any package's MSBuild targets can execute.

Configure — `nugate.json` at the repo root

{
  "minAgeDays": 7,
  "mode": "enforce",
  "onApiFailure": "fail",
  "allow": [
    { "id": "SomePackage", "version": "3.1.4", "expires": "2026-08-01", "reason": "hotfix" }
  ],
  "exemptPrefixes": ["MyCompany."]
}

No config file means the defaults (7 days, enforce, fail closed). Allowlist entries can carry an expiry so exceptions don't fossilize; exemptPrefixes covers internal packages that aren't on nuget.org.

What this does / does not do

NuGate enforces a dependency age policy. That's all it does, and it does it deliberately.

It does not detect malware, scan for vulnerabilities, or prevent attacks. A 30-day-old compromised package passes the gate by design. Cooldowns shrink the window in which freshly poisoned package versions can reach you — they don't close it.

Ages come from the immutable nuget.org catalog created timestamp — not the registration published field, which nuget.org resets when a version is unlisted. Unlisted versions are flagged regardless of age.
