A dependency manager for .NET with support for NuGet packages and Git repositories. NuGet does not separate out the concept of transitive dependencies. If you install a package into your project and that package has further dependencies then all transitive packages are included in the packages.config. There is no way to tell which packages are only transitive dependencies. Even more importantly: If two packages reference conflicting versions of a package, NuGet will silently take the latest version (read more). You have no control over this process. Paket on the other hand maintains this information on a consistent and stable basis within the paket.lock file in the solution root. This file, together with the paket.dependencies file enables you to determine exactly what's happening with your dependencies.
Features
- As of #2664, paket now automatically bootstraps all required dependencies and builds on a clean windows installation
- Up-to-date Mono (>= 5.0 required, >= 5.2 recommended, just install the latest nightly)
- Build the solution with Visual Studio, build.cmd or build.sh
- Fork and clone locally
- When built, you'll find the binaries in ./bin which you can then test with locally, to ensure the bug or feature has been successfully implemented
- A dependency manager for .NET with support for NuGet packages and git repositories
