Releasing nuget packages without using versionizer?

[AMoghrabi]

Is it possible to use the :release task without using the versionizer task? We have our scripts configured to pick up the :build_number from Team City so the .semver file is not necessary to have in our case. I would also like to avoid having to add a dependency (semver gem).

Thanks for the help.

Yes, just override :depend_on - https://github.com/Albacore/albacore/blob/master/lib/albacore/tasks/release.rb#L44

The semver gem is my creation, and I can promise you it's semantically versioned and stable ;)

What is uses from the Versionizer and hence the semver gem is this code so it's just using the formatting logic.

In summary:

• use depend_on
• no you can't avoid the dependency on semver gem
• you can't avoid the formatting in Versionizer, but you can avoid it looking for .semver on disk by not instantiating a task of its type
