For those that have not yet heard, NuGet went v1 recently along with a whole slew of tools from the Microsoft folks. I’ve been lucky to be a part of the NuGet project and see it take shape over the past few months with community input and contributions. Even though v1.0 was released, we are already moving...

This customization is done in a separate location from the build so you can upgrade without wondering if you broke the build. There is a hook before each...
