AppVeyor still doesn't support |
We want to continue publishing SourceLink-ed debug symbols, but using classic Windows PDBs generates a huge package. Using the much smaller portable PDB format would be much better, but some people may still experience problems with those. (See e.g. GitHub issue devlooped#428.) Let's follow the official guidance (see links below) and publish debug symbols in a separate `.snupkg` package to NuGet's symbol server. This means that we can (must, in fact) use portable PDBs as it will be the consumers' choice whether to use the separate symbols or not.

ctaggart's SourceLink has at some point started packing `.pdb` files into the main Nuget package, which is not ideal if we want to publish a separate `.snupkg` to NuGet. For that reason, let's make the switch to `dotnet/SourceLink` even though it is *still* only in beta. References: * ctaggart/SourceLink#291

This looks good as far as I can see, but I'll have to run a final test and actually publish to NuGet (as another pre-release). |
