Usage :
- Place the NugetPackageUpdater.exe in the root of your project (where are your .npkg e.g: MyPackage.1.0.1.npkg)
- Call the exe
NugetPackageUpdater.exe --current MyPackage.1.0.1.npkg --new MyPackage.1.0.2.npkg --ignored-extensions "xml,pdb"
The -i or --ignored-extensions argument is optional
Behind the scenes :
- It will first extract MyPackage.1.0.1.npkg in {root}\Releases\MyPackage.1.0.1.npkg
- It will find the lib directory and clear it
- It fetches all files from {root}\bin\Releases (except file having an ignored extension) and copies them back to {root}\Releases\MyPackage.1.0.1.npkg
- It updates the .nuspec file with the new version of the package
- It zips the {root}\Releases\MyPackage.1.0.1.npkg to {root}\MyPackage.1.0.2.npkg
