In my NuGet package creation, I am using the builtin Visual Studio (2019) functionality to create the package. I have included the both the Authors
and Owners
elements in my .csproj
file, but only the Authors
tag gets copied to the final package. I realize the Owners
element has been deprecated , but Visual Studio still displays that line in the NuGet Package Manager Description, and it would be preferable to have that information be complete (if it's not there, it looks like the package owner was sloppy and left info out that should have been added). I can add it back in manually after the package is generated, but that is a hassle. Can I force that Owners
element to be added to the NuGet package automatically?
Unfortunately not only MSBuild does not support Owners
element but in .nuspec
file the owners
element is also deprecated :
Important
owners is deprecated. Use authors instead.
A comma-separated list of the package creators using profile names on nuget.org. This is often the same list as in authors, and is ignored when uploading the package to nuget.org .
What is more, nuget.org ignores authors
element as well :
Although each NuGet package's.nuspec file defines the package's authors, the nuget.org gallery does not use that metadata to define ownership . Instead, nuget.org assigns initial ownership to the person who publishes the package. This is either the logged-in user who uploaded the package through the nuget.org UI, or the users whose API key was used with
nuget SetApiKey
ornuget push
.
I also checked the source code of PackTask
and although it gets the value of NuspecProperties
MSBuild property but it is used only if NuspecFile
MSBuild property is also set. But in this case all package properties will be read from the specified .nuspec
file and the related MSBuild properties will be ignored.
So it seems that currently there is no way to force putting an owners
element into the dynamically generated .nuspec
file automatically.
What can be done?
.nuspec
file from the generated .nupkg
file..nuspec
file as needed..nuspec
file in the .nupkg
file with the updated one.
