This was left out of date as of #655. It is also needed to be a
subsection of the detailed build notes section.
Some typos and superfluous information were fixed.
The readme is getting quite large, so in an effort to shorten it, the
Git installation instructions (which have nothing to do with PowerShell,
but are helpful for new users), are now in `CONTRIBUTING.md`. Thus, if
someone is totally new to Git, they will be far more likely to review
our contributing guidelines, and so read our rules and best practices.
Cloning the source code was cleaned up so that initializing the
submodules is done in a separate step. This simplifies the first step,
making it more likely to succeed (and narrowing the possible failures).
Per dotnet/cli#1783, this should resolvePowerShell/PowerShell#638.
Unfortunately, per dotnet/cli#1839, the Ubuntu package feed is
out-of-date. So now Travis and AppVeyor aren't quite in sync. This is
not great, but the Ubuntu version of CLI does not have the same
regression that the Windows version had.
The readme has been updated to note how to install an actually
up-to-date copy on Linux.
Address Andy's comments about build script.
Add more information about the version into build
Use windows inbox version of pester for FullCLR
Revert dotnet cli to a known good version to avoid #638
If not specified, "deb" is used as default on Linux. This should be
updated to check the distribution and required package build
dependencies.
Dependency names switched per package type, since specific package names
are different. Should check if this causes an issue on OS X when the
names are empty.
This package contains the Windows runtime assemblies of packages that
are not actually supported on Linux. The assemblies exist in the Linux
runtime folder. While the code cannot be executed, this allows
PowerShell to use the Windows specific types in its function calls
without crashing (and allows compiling with these types in the first
place). This is *not* an ideal work-around, but we are waiting on a
better package from .NET that contains Linux runtime assemblies that
throw `PlatformNotSupported` exceptions on use.
OS X's ping command requires the flags to be specified before the
arguments. I also reduced the ping count so that the tests execute a bit
faster. This resolves#556.
