ChakraCore NuGet package

I didn’t see this already so I hope it isn’t a duplicate. I also didn’t see it in the roadmap.

I read the quick-start guide on embedding ChakraCore, but following this guidance will make it hard to keep an embedded version up to date. https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/wiki/Embedding-ChakraCore

A better solution would be if MS created a NuGet package for ChakraCore and auto-published it from its build server.

Maintainers’ Update

@dilijev (added 2016-04-26 / last updated 2016-01-31):

Wiki: https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/wiki/NuGet-Packages NuGet feed: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.ChakraCore MyGet feed: https://www.myget.org/feed/chakracore-preview/package/nuget/Microsoft.ChakraCore

Work Items

• Use build system to create and publish daily builds as NuGet packages to MyGet.org
• Add link to MyGet feed to README and/or Wiki (@liminzhu) (#1253)
• Create a NuGet.org feed to publish our official releases (once they are available)
• When available: Add NuGet.org feed link to README and/or Wiki (@liminzhu)
• When release 1.2 is finalized: Publish ChakraCore version 1.2 to NuGet.org
• Include build number in preview package special version strings
  • Format for preview packages: Microsoft.ChakraCore.<major>.<minor>.<patch>-preview-<build1>-<build2> (e.g. Microsoft.ChakraCore.1.3.0-preview-00008-12345). Commit hash is, as always, encoded in binary metadata.
• Preview builds of multiple branches: e.g. release/* and master (Infrastructure now exists but there’s no compelling reason to publish preview builds of multiple release branches – patch updates to already-released minor versions like 1.2 and 1.3 will be extremely minor so there’s nothing meaningful to preview.)
• Reorganize package layout to enable Visual C++ projects to take a dependency on native NuGet packages and automatically integrate the ChakraCore binaries into a project. (see https://docs.nuget.org/consume/support-for-native-projects) (#2266 by @pre10der89)
• NuGet package spec (nuspec) consumable by .NET projects (#2266 by @pre10der89)
• Publish preview package for .NET for validation (https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/issues/85#issuecomment-276537774)
• Publish preview package for Native for validation (https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/issues/85#issuecomment-276537774)
• Publish an updated NuGet package for Native projects which supports NuGet automation (as above). (See #2435)
• Publish NuGet for .NET projects. (See #2345)

Just wanted to let everyone know that we’re setting up our infrastructure to produce NuGet packages. Stay tuned.
