* Deprecate the Microsoft.AspNetCore.App metapackage in favor of targeting and runtime packs
* Stop producing Microsoft.AspNetCore.App, and runtime.$(rid).Microsoft.AspNetCore.App
* Generate the shared framework without using 'NuGet' restore
* Stop producing intermediate packages for shared-framework only assemblies
* Put the platform manifest into the targeting pack (data/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.PlatformManifest.txt)
* Create well-known, shared intermediate directories that installers can use to bundle content
* Fix package type to match spec ('DotnetPlatform')
* Fix missing metadata in MSI installer
* Fix incorrect target order which caused duplicate assemblies in netcore.app and aspnetcore.app
Changes:
* Add support for a property, `IsAspNetCoreApp`, in the .csproj file of assemblies which are part of the shared framework.
* Remove unused dependencies
* Remove reference which have become part of 'netcoreapp3.0'
Put transitive external dependencies of the shared framework in a separate category, and don't reference them directly unless we are building a patch. This will help us find changes to dependencies, such as the removal of JSON.NET or possible changes to Crypto.Xml.
Add new command line parameters for working with the project:
* `-NoBuild`, `-NoRestore` - these already existed, but users found it hard to discover this powershell syntax: '-build:$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
This generates additional metadata for the .NET Core SDK to resolve conflicts between Microsoft.AspNetCore.App and PackageReferences which contain the same assemblies.
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.
