some System.* packages are not being downloaded (using dotnet restore) and with that information for that packages cannot be gathered...

Fire up liz

Additional Information

No response

I'm not yet sure how to handle this. Maybe I need a different process for downloading packages?

wgnf commented 2 years ago

Maybe the best way for now is to just check if it has been downloaded, if not, take a look at the sources/caches and grab it from there?

wgnf commented 2 years ago

Or remodel the download process to something like this:

go through the list of packages
for every package do:
- check if in cache(s) (how to get the cache(s)?)
- if in cache, use this (set the path/copy it to the working folder)
- if not in cache add it to a dummy-project
if the dummy-project has packages, download these using the approach from before

Maybe this works and maybe it is even faster? I have no idea. An integration test benchmark would be nice too I guess..
