Document when you should and when you don't have to ship a task `.deps.json`

Open rainersigwald opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

See discussion in https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/74725, but:

  • If a task assembly has an adjacent .deps.json, MSBuild will respect it.
  • Generally you should probably ship this
  • But you don't super have to, the old "load references from next to it" behavior covers a lot.

We should write down details.
