Publish CLI as dotnet global tool #221

Open KvanTTT opened 4 years ago

KvanTTT commented 4 years ago

I see the request about the Chocolatey packaging, but it's Windows only.

I suggest publishing as dotnet global tool that works across different platforms.

For that to work the updated runtime dependencies system of the 2.0 branch is required. This will not work on the 1.x branch.

KvanTTT commented 4 years ago

All dependencies are targeted .NET Standard 2.0, CLI app is targeted to 461 but as I understand it's also possible to make it multitarget and add netcoreapp2.1 to the list. You wrote:

Well the CLI is already cross-platform now. Thanks to .NET Core, it's very little, if any, extra afford to support multiple platforms. So there is nothing really speaking against it.

I can deploy it for .net core. That is not much of an issue. However everything that requires the runtime library, does not work properly.

KvanTTT commented 3 years ago

Is it possible to obfuscate .NET framework assemblies by .NET Core tool? If so I prefer distribution via dotnet tool because it's simpler and more clear.

mkaring commented 3 years ago

The version in the 2.0 branch is capable of this. The master branch can't obfuscate .NET Framework properly. The runtime library is the issue.
