Make Main package independent from Redist

[mytnyk]

By default CoApp creates three packages: Main, Redist and Symbols. Main depends on Redist.
Is it possible to specify whether to create dependency on Redist package or not? Because it is not always necessary to have dll files. It can be enough just to have possibility to build the project. As far as I see all Redist does is copying binaries to target directory. Actually if you have many projects (1 exe and many dlls) that depends on the same nuget package in your solution then you need to execute copying only once for exe file. This could have perfect sense in case if your dlls have target directory different than main exe file. Currently I got nuget binaries copied to every directory with my dll.

Setup is as follows:

N - some nuget package (distrib package contains n.dll)
In solution, say, I have:
Exe project uses N and outputs to C:\Exe
Dll project uses N and outputs to C:\Exe\PlugIn\

After build I got n.dll copied to both directories: C:\Exe\ and C:\Exe\PlugIn\

Last technical build does not use redist and symbols packages. It uses overlay mechanism. Any platform and build specific files are placed in separate hidden packages that will be installed in project at build step.
You can update CoApp to last version by PS command:

Update-CoAppTools -development -killpowershells

Hi, CoApp has been dead for a while, and it's not coming back. The best alternative now is to use vcpkg with the just-released Binary Caching: https://vcpkg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/specifications/binarycaching/ Best regards, Renato C.
