* Deprecate the Microsoft.AspNetCore.App metapackage in favor of targeting and runtime packs
* Stop producing Microsoft.AspNetCore.App, and runtime.$(rid).Microsoft.AspNetCore.App
* Generate the shared framework without using 'NuGet' restore
* Stop producing intermediate packages for shared-framework only assemblies
* Put the platform manifest into the targeting pack (data/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.PlatformManifest.txt)
* Create well-known, shared intermediate directories that installers can use to bundle content
This creates 3 new build outputs:
* aspnetcore-targeting-pack-$(version).tar.gz
* aspnetcore-targeting-pack-$(version)-linux-x64.deb
* aspnetcore-targeting-pack-$(version)-linux-x64.rpm
Other changes:
* Make RPM packaging consistent with other installers. Vendor == Microsoft Corporation
* Add shared properties for building the targeting pack (or not building it in a servicing build)
Add new command line parameters for working with the project:
* `-NoBuild`, `-NoRestore` - these already existed, but users found it hard to discover this powershell syntax: '-build:$false'
* `-Arch`/`--arch` - set the target CPU architecture to build. Defaults to x64
* `--os-name` - on non-Windows builds, manually specify if the build should target Alpine. generic Linux, or MacOS
* Rename flags used to build specific project types. The pattern now is `--build-$(group)` or `--no-build-$(group)` (In PowerShell its `-Build$(Group)` or `-NoBuild$(Group). Example: -NoBuildJava
Changes to build definitions:
* Update the ci build definition to build all supported architectures
* Support publishing multiple artifacts per job
Other changes:
* `-NoBuild` implies `-NoRestore`
* Add new properties, `TargetArchitecture`, `TargetOsName`, and `TargetRuntimeIdentifier`
* Replace usages of `SharedFxRid` with these new properties
* To make `--no-build-nodejs` actually work, replaced Components.Browser.JS.csproj with Components.Browser.JS.npmproj
* Fix errors when building for win-arm on a clean machine
* Fix a few other project errors, like using the wrong syntax for DefaultItemExcludes, or using the wrong Platform value for x86
Changes:
* Remove obsolete targets which are unnecessary now that this repo no longer builds git submodules in a separate build process
* Remove the need for static analysis of 'ArtifactInfo' items
* Simplify how the code signing task is configured
* Remove unused repo tasks
* Remove duplicate lists of external dependencies and packages to be produced
* Remove obsolete build definition
* Remove obsolete build script parameters
* Add VisualStudioSetupOutputPath
Update the build scripts to support building subfolders or subgroups of projects
* Add build scripts for ci
* Remove obsolete scripts
* Add flags like --test and --pack to control running just test or packaging
* Add flags like --managed and --native to control building sub-types of projects
* Remove KoreBuild bootstrapper flags
* Update to extensions 3.0.0-preview.18619.1 (needed to get a fix for aspnet/Extensions#815 to make this change work on MSBuild.exe)
This simplifies the way that we publish files to our network drop share.
Changes:
* Instead of explicitly listing every file that needs to publish, use directories to classify packages and artifacts into different categories.
* Add documentation for the expected layout of artifacts/
* Remove the need for static analysis to determine which packages go to which project
* Add the MSBuild property "IsProductPackage" to .csproj files which ship as a package to NuGet.org.
This changes the way Microsoft.AspNetCore.App works to follow patterns set by Microsoft.NETCore.App. Instead of being a metapackage with dozens of dependencies, this package has no dependencies. It uses RID-splitting to deliver standalone assets for self-contained deployments.
Changes:
* Implements RID-split packages for Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.
* Update shared fx deps.json generation to only include entries for the RID-specific metapackages
* Include platform-specific packages in publish output
* Remove all nuspec dependencies of Microsoft.AspNetCore.App and collect all references into the package.
* Replace the aspnet/JsonPatch git submodule and merge the master branch of its source to this repo
* Likewise for aspnet/DotNetTools
* And aspnet/HtmlAbstractions
* merge latest infrastructure changes from the release/2.2 branch
Changes:
* This removes MSBuild targets which invoke `docker` commands to build
deb and rpm installers
* Remove installer targets from the KoreBuild context. Put them into
separate project files
* Simplify the targets used to build installers by reducing duplicate
variable names and deeply nested MSBuild contexts
* Remove unused dependencies from the Docker build context
Changes:
* Sign shared fx zips
* Sign metapackages
* Disable signing on inner repo builds and instead sign all packages at the end
* Add a list of files from other Microsoft teams which can be excluded from signing
* Add a list of 3rd party assemblies which are bundled in the shared frameworks.
* Disable package analysis because it incorrectly issues NU5109 on macOS, but not windows
* Normalize file paths because if you mix slashes, NuGet will just skip the entire folder
* Normalize the project path given to restore. If it not normalized, restore skips the project and issues a warning
This refactors the targets used to build the shared framework and its .zip files. There are lots of reasons motivating this: Arcade convergence, migration to VSTS, making it easier to build this locally, etc.
Changes:
* Moves move content of build/Sharedfx.{props/targets} into eng/targets/SharedFx.Common.{props/targets}
* Update the build to produce a `runtime.$rid.Microsoft.AspNetCore.App` package (not just the one with symbols in it)
* Refactor the targets which produce .tar.gz/.zip files into separate projects in `src/Installers/`
* Refactor installers, unit tests, and the framework projects to use ProjectReference to flow dependencies between different parts of the build.
* Makes it easier to build the shared framework locally (for the inner dev loop, you can run `dotnet build -p src/Framework/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/src/ -r win-x64`)
* Fix README links to use https
* Add a bigger timeout to PushToBlobFeed
* Remove hard-coded restore source for the 2.1.4 build
* Fail the build if korebuild.json cannot be parsed
* Fix output path for sharedfx .tar.gz files to avoid max path issues
* Add build definition for Azure DevOps
* Put code for metapackages in a subfolder
* Update targets to prepare for submodules merging into this repo
* Add source code for windows installer
* Add source code for Debian installers
Our policy since 1.0.0 has been to always cascade version updates in the packages we own. e.g. if Logging has a product change in 2.1.x, then Kestrel, EF Core, Mvc, etc also re-ship with the updated Logging dependency. This has been done for a variety of reasons:
* NuGet does not show updates for transitive dependencies, only direct ones
* NuGet does resolves the lowest compatible transitive dependencies
* ASP.NET Core ships to both .NET Framework (where transitive dependency version matters) and .NET Core (where it matters less if you use the shared framework)
While transitive dependencies is still an important scenario, this practice of always patching has led to bigger issues.
* High probability users will unintentionally upgrade out of the shared framework: #3307
* Conflicts with metapackages that attempt to use exact version constraints: aspnet/Universe#1180
* A quality perception issue: the high volume of new versions in servicing updates with only metadata changes has created the impression that new versions of packages may not be very important. It's also made it appear like there are more issues product than there really are.
* High volume of packages changing with only metadata changes. Of the last 301 packages published in a servicing update, only 11 contained actual changes to the implementation assemblies. (3.5%)
This change implements a system to verify a new, non-cascading versioning policy for servicing updates. This required changes to repos to pin version variables to that matter per-repo,
and to remove some of the restrictions and checks.
Incidentally, this should make defining new patches easier because it automatically determines which packages are or are not patching in the release.
