Punting GenerateFileFromTemplate for now. Unifying our templating syntaxes will likely be more contentious than DownloadFile and others.

@natemcmaster from the things that are under the ASP list, are those packages or scripts something we are going to move to Arcade because other repos will consume it?

@weshaggard I see that ILLinker is used in corefx, coreclr and source-build. Is the idea here to move the reference for the package to Arcade (probably SDK?) so that the repos that use it have the same version and configuration?

[natemcmaster]

Since opening this, the following aspnet tasks have become first-class MSBuild tasks:

• ZipArchive (named Zip in MSBuild)
• UnzipArchive (named Unzip)
• DownloadFile
• ComputeChecksum (named GetFileHash)

The only remaining task which may be useful to share is GenerateFileFromTemplate. This is not currently available as a package, but is bundled in KoreBuild. I'd be happy to have this become part of MSBuild or an Arcade task library.

ILLinker is currently in an independent repo and at least for the time being should remain there. I expect that to be an option package that corefx/coreclr pull in and not be part of the SDK.

To get an idea of some of the buildtools -> arcade tasks you can check out our project board at https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/projects/3.

Thanks @natemcmaster . Could you elaborate more on the need and who will use GenerateFileFromTemplate?

Thanks for pointing me there @weshaggard . That helps to solve other questions.

We use GenerateFileFromTemplate for simple named-variable substitution during the build. We use it in a dozen or so places when we need to generate static content during build time. Example usage:

<GenerateFileFromTemplate TemplateFile="MyFile.cs.in" OutputPath="obj/MyFile.cs" Properties="Var=$(SomeValue)" />

// MyFile.cs.in

public class Class1
{
   public string GetVar() => "${Var}";
}

That is #204.

Created issue #348 for porting Repack to Arcade

Looks like the items that should be tracked are being tracked. Closing
