Didn't look into it yet, but what's missing for PDB/MDB exactly? Isn't it automatically supported by Cecil?

Update: found what needs to be done for PDB/MDB, investigating now.

FYI, I have everything working in https://github.com/xen2/il-repack/tree/0.10 It currently needs https://github.com/xen2/cecil/tree/ilrepack (little bit temporary, until things get cleaned up and merged back in master) Specifically, https://github.com/jbevain/cecil/pull/351 and https://github.com/jbevain/cecil/pull/353 will allow...

Side note: I had weird problem with Baml (it was removing all extra assembly info, including from non merged types. Fixed in this commit: https://github.com/xen2/il-repack/commit/837337023f427368459a78a75b027c7e52fa4a1c

It supports both of them. New cecil added portable PDB and recently reworked and integrated my native PDB branch.

I could fix the problem with this kind of target: ``` %(ProjectReferenceWithConfiguration.GlobalPropertiesToRemove);RuntimeIdentifier ```

Interesting, thanks for the link to the MSBuild issue, it might be related. I could do a simple repro project with the following versions: Visual Studio 2019 latest (.NET 5.0.202)...

We had some idea to auto-generate a `.cs` file containing all the root assets (aka contents on the runtime side) as constants that could be used at runtime. They could...

Sure, this was a separate idea. I also agree something like a what you proposed would be quite useful (also had the same need several time).

Linux is planned for next release (1.7). Since macOS is very similar, it shouldn't take long to have it as well.
