Create live publishing workflow #79775
Conversation
This PR attempts to create a dedicated live publishing workflow that many different projects can use to publish with live bits, specifically in self-contained scenarios. The two consumers right now are crossgen2 and ILC. The ILC binaries currently don't go anywhere (they don't ship in any packages), but they could if we decide to go that route. The new suggested workflow would be to create a new dedicated project for publishing, which avoids potential headaches with shared assets from the original project. Then, setting the 'LivePublish' MSBuild variable should enable the Publish task to use live bits. Setting the 'PublishOnBuild' property to 'true' will let a project publish itself whenever build is executed.

I moved this out of packaging so that it would also get used for the pretest live runtimepack that we generate. Without this, live publishing for single-file ends up with a lot of extra binaries in the output.

This is necessary because otherwise there seems to be some sort of cycle of target dependencies. I didn't spend time debugging it since it didn't seem important.
Is it about different binaries than the one shipped in ilcompiler's runtime package (which msbuild invokes with

Ah yeah, that should read "the AOT'd ILC binaries don't go anywhere in this PR" -- I changed packaging to pull the FX-dependent versions. That may be the wrong move, it was just simple to do for the moment. |
