Completing Paket conversion!

[tpetricek]

This completes the work started by @forki in #276.

As discussed in the other thread, this does not change anything about how Deedle is consumed (we still publish a NuGet package, with the same things as before).

However, this changes how we reference other packages. Rather than using NuGet directly, this uses it through Paket, but under the cover, it still gets the packages from NuGet.

The nice things about Paket (and why I would like to use it for Deedle are):

• Easier maintenance of fsproj files - when we update a reference, we just run paket install and that will update the fsproj files (so no more messing with <HintPath> elements by hand)
• It handles versions in a simpler way, so the dependencies in packages do not contain version number in the folder name (this means we do not have to modify *.fsx files when we update a version of a referenced package).
• The really nice thing is that we can also add dependencies on files from GitHub (see docs). We could use that to get rid of the F# Data dependency (which causes various pains with versioning etc.) because we could reference CSV parser in this way.

Very cool.

Now I just need to have a dinner break before I can get rid of the F# Data dependency, because Github thinks I did enough paket updates already...

Yeah I already tried to ask @shiftkey if we can get an API key or something like that. On Dec 8, 2014 9:59 PM, "Tomas Petricek" notifications@github.com wrote:
