visual studio - Restrict nuget package updates to current versions for some packages

Question

Is there a way to disable updates of specific nuget packages installed in a project?

I have made some local modifications to a couple of javascript library packages and do not want to run the risk of someone updating over the top of my changes in the future.

I've never created my own nuget package, I'm guessing one option might be to fork the existing packages?

You could try constraining the package so it your project will only allow a particular version to be used. Then all updates to any newer version will be prevented.

You can do this by editing your project's package.config file. For example, the line below should only allow version 2.1.0 to be used.

<package id="SomePackage" version="2.1.0" allowedVersions="[2.1.0]" />
