Use NuGet Package Registry for PowerShell Modules

[marvint24]

Description

Referring to my post in the forum: https://forum.gitea.com/t/nuget-package-registry-for-powershell-modules/11226

My goal is using Gitea as a registry for custom PowerShell modules.

Current behavier

• Registering gitea as PSRepository works well.
• Publishing my module works too.
• Finding the module works not correct.
• Installing Module doesn't work.

The problem occurs with PowerShell 5.1 on Windows and PowerShell 7 on Windows / Linux

Expected behavier

The NuGet package registry should work as PowerShell module repository.

Steps to reproduce

You can use this code https://github.com/marvint24/PWSHTest to test it.

1. Clone repo
2. Create an access token in gitea
3. Run the publishModule.ps1 file like as described in the readme

After that you should find the package in gitea.

You can find the PowerShell module with:

Find-Module -Name "*" -Repository Gitea -Verbose

But not with:

Find-Module -Name "PWSHTest" -Repository Gitea -Verbose

You cannot install the module with:

Install-Module -Name "PWSHTest" -Repository Gitea -Verbose

Gitea Version

1.23.8

Can you reproduce the bug on the Gitea demo site?

Yes

Jumping in to say I've also run into this issue.

If the latest version of a package ends with .0, the above error is returned.
If I navigate to https://gitea.xxx.com/api/packages/audrey/nuget/registration/pwshtest/1.1.json I get a Package Not Found page. If I navigate to https://gitea.xxx.com/api/packages/audrey/nuget/registration/pwshtest/1.1.0.json the correct manifest is returned.
The above only occurs if the minor version is a 0. If the minor version ends with any other integer then the below appears.

Interestingly, if I run the same Find-Module cmdlet with an asterisk at the start or end, it works.

find-module -name PWSHTest* -Repository Gitea -Verbose
