Option to disable package splitting (overlay packages)

[yodantauber]

Can I disable package splitting (overlay packages) by specifying something in the *.autopkg file and/or in the CoApp command line? Alternatively, can I control the splitting size threshold?

We need this both for testing purposes, and for creating some packages for internal use within our organization only.

Yes, -SplitThreshold is the size that it will split on:

Write-NuGetPackage -SplitThreshold 1000000000?

should help you out.

Thanks, but I just tried that with version 2.4.493.0. The Power Shell cmdlet accepted the parameter, but it still split the packages.

[fearthecowboy]

Hmm. I thought that worked. sigh

I'll reserve some time to get back to this tomorrow -- I've been working on a top-secret project for the last couple of months that we finally get to talk about today (it's being announced at Build today)

Oops, sorry, my bad. Turns out the entire Boost package is actually bigger than 1,000,000,000 bytes uncompressed!

[fearthecowboy]

?Ohh. oooooh.

That's big.

I foolishly made that parameter an int32 -- so it can handle up to 2.1 gb I guess.

Hmm, in fact it's 830,000,000 bytes uncompressed. I wonder why changing the threshold from 1,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 helped.

[fearthecowboy]

My bad math?

that's actually very strange.

We'll still count that as a bug :D

Oh, and indeed this 32-bit variable is a problem with Qt, IPP and MKL (they are split even with the maximal threshold).

[fearthecowboy]

?I'll add a -nosplit option to just bypass the problem entirely.

(this had to happen during //Build, didn't it!? ) ;)

I've found the problem: the SplitThreshold parameter of Write-NuGetPackage is actually in MB, not bytes, and it overflows silently when it is multiplied by 1024*1024.

WriteNugetPackage.cs, line 100:

script.SplitThreshold = SplitThreshold * 1024 * 1024;

Should be:

script.SplitThreshold = (long)SplitThreshold * 1024 * 1024;

The package with disabled splitting works better. In VS2015 C++ solutions with installed splited packages not work IntelliSense. So, it is good proposition for author to disable package splitting by default.Non splitted package works better.
