Publish symbols to prodcon feed

[pranavkm]

Here are notes on what the symbol publish step will be looking for in the manifest:https://github.com/dotnet/core-eng/blob/master/Documentation/Orchestrated-Build/Api/publish.md#publish-symbol-packages-to-symbol-server. (Something that might not be clear is that it’s looking for Blob elements, not Packages.)

Placeholder for what do with profiling (.ni.pdb) pdbs produced as part the build.

We confirmed that this made its way onto the Prodcon feed.

@ryanbrandenburg Is the prodcon feed something can be access externally/publicly?

[ryanbrandenburg]

It is not. To my knowledge there has not been a decision on where/how/if to make symbols publicly available.

[ctaggart]

Is there another issue for making the publicly available? If not, can you make one and link it here?

The ProdCon feed is available for each build, for example this is the 2.1.1 build: https://github.com/dotnet/versions/blob/726018548f536bb1176c25792a6bf18f88b5d989/build-info/dotnet/product/cli/release/2.1/build.xml. That said, it's not easy to navigate these and ProdCon feeds aren't terribly useful as a symbol source.

When we release a build, symbols should be available on https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols. In Visual Studio, this is the default location called "Microsoft Symbol Servers".
