While migrating to our new 1ES CI, we realized that the
nupkg
s generated by this repo were not getting the "deterministic" flag in the NuGet package explorer.After a lot of experimentation, we discovered the reason for this was that our packages did not set the
DebugType
MSBuild property toembedded
portable
which apparently is needed for deterministic builds. The need for this property (and others we were already setting) is explained here: https://www.meziantou.net/creating-reproducible-build-in-dotnet.htmTo be honest, I don't know why previous CI environment still generated deterministic builds, even without this flag. That's a mystery for another day. For now, and to unblock upcoming releases, we'll set the
DebugType
of our packages toembedded
portable
to all the expected checkmarks in the NuGet package explorer.For comparison, here's the view of the NuGet package before this change:
and here it is after:
Edit 9/18: a previous version of this PR set the
DebugType
asembedded
. I've set it toportable
