Package 依赖时依赖于 nuget 尚未

Question

I have a Xamarin binding, and another one which depends on the first. In the second binding the dependency to the first requires the dependency to be published on nuget. However, as both are updated together, it's not possible to build the second binding without publishing the first.

Ideally what I'd like to do is depend on the first package locally when building, but in the package .nuspec depend on the nuget package. As the first package will be published first, when the second package is published the dependency can be satisfied. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Do they need to live apart? Couldn't you have both projects live in the same solution? This way you could build them together, then package these two libraries separately afterwards.

Alternatively, you could create a local repository, which is just a folder where you put in your dependencies, and you can simply point to that folder as a NuGet repository. You can configure that through VS, or you can create a NuGet.config in the root of the repository and add an entry looking something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <packageSources>
        <add key="Local Packages" value="path/on/disk" />
    </packageSources>
</configuration>

This should automatically be picked up by NuGet and it will try to restore packages from here too.
