@jcagme - adding this to the release epic as it doesn't seem this work deserves its own. We'll want to chat more about where it fits priority wise. It would certainly be a good thing to have before .NET5 RTM. So maybe there should be a follow up epic for after this initial work, but before rtm.... Regardless, we can chat more.
Would be nice to have something here. Also if the tags were in a github repo or something to make them more discoverable.
This epic is complete!
Unified Build Access Story
For .NET 5 and beyond, we need to have a unified build notification story that our customers can rely on. Today, our partners use multiple different mechanisms for build notification: aka.ms links, dotnet-install, etc. Most appear to check the productVersion.txt file for changes. Our goal is to unify on one single mechanism for build notifications: aka.ms links.
While aka.ms links are our best option, they do suffer from some drawbacks:
To address these drawbacks, we would ideally have the following:
Today, we generate aka.ms links automatically during publishing of dev builds. In addition to those links that are generated, the release pipeline must generate aka.ms links for the other various phases of the build and release process.
