Differences between aspnetcidev and aspnetvnext?

Question

What are the differences between aspnetcidev and aspnetvnext?

I see that aspnetcidev says \"quick builds\", but what does this mean?

I'm abrade that you can get the exact answer on the question only from Microsoft. You can open https://www.myget.org/gallery and filter for "aspnet" for example and will find many other repositories published for different teams.

For me more interesting is the information displayed by .NET Version Manager: dnvm (without parameters):

Thus, for me, the source https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/api/v2/ (or https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/api/v3/index.json) is the "official" place for the night builds of ASP.NET 5.

On the other side by filtering of https://www.myget.org/gallery "aspnet" you can see that aspnetvnext contains more distinct packages as aspnetcidev.

It's clear that both repositories probably contains different set of packages.

One important example where the repository https://www.myget.org/gallery/aspnetcidev be used is the new .NET Command Line Interface (.NET CLI) which you find on GitHub here. The new dotnet utility uses https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetcidev/api/v3/index.json together with many other sources in https://github.com/dotnet/cli/blob/master/NuGet.Config.

I suppose that AspNetCIDev is the repository of packages required for .NET CLI. It's the utility, which should replace dnx and dnu in RC2 of ASP.NET 5. See the post, this one and some other.
