NuGet package creation process

This directory contains NuGet specification files (.nuspec).

Creating nuget packages:

Set PackageVersion environment variable that defines the package version.

console

set PackageVersion=0.2.0

If environment variable is not set, then the version is automatically obtained from git tag:

console

git describe --tags

Run tools/build-nuget.cmd script to create the package(s). Packages are copied to .\packages directory.
Push selected package to nuget feed.

Proposed NuGet package flavors

This section is a DRAFT - Work-in-Progress. The following packages MAY be created and published at nuget.org :

Package Name	Desription	Notes
OpenTelemetry.Cpp.Source	Complete recursive source code snapshot with dependencies.
OpenTelemetry.Cpp.Dev	Source code snapshot excluding 3rd party dependencies.
OpenTelemetry.Cpp.Api	API headers package.
OpenTelemetry.Cpp.Sdk	SDK headers and source package.
OpenTelemetry.Cpp.Ext	Extended functionality.
OpenTelemetry.Cpp.Exporters	Exporters.

Prebuilt libraries MAY be provided in future in OpenTelemetry.Cpp.${CompilerABI} package for each compiler.

Refer to Boost library nuget packages for example how to create a nuget package for a given compiler and runtime, using Fuget Package Explorer that allows to see the original nuget spec for each package.
