I'm creating multiple OS-specific NuGet packages. Each one of them contains a fairly large native process. I can't combine them in a single NuGet package, it'll be too big. So it looks like this:
- MyProject.win-x86-x64
- MyProject.macos-x86-x64
- MyProject.ubuntu1804-x86-x64
- MyProject.ubuntu1804-arm64
- MyProject.debian10-x86-x64
- ...
I'd like to create another netstandard2.0 package that references the right OS-specific package based on the current OS runtime identifier, using a .targets file included in the build and buildTransitive package directory.
So far the best I can do is use $([MSBuild]::IsOsPlatform()) which only tells if the consumer is targeting Windows, OSX or Linux. It doesn't provide the current Linux distribution.
I know it's also possible to retrieve the runtime identifier using the source code of the soon deprecated Microsoft.DotNet.PlatformAbstractions package, as suggested by Dan Moseley from MS. However, I have no idea how I cound integrate this code into my custom .targets file.
Does anybody knows how I could reference the right OS-specific package in a custom .targets file?
