* 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
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.
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 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
* 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`)
