Simple NuGet Packaging

Over the last week I have started publishing my Cavity libraries on to NuGet, starting with my Unit Testing Fluent API.

The API is implemented in a single assembly with no non-BCL dependencies, which makes it the simplest case to pack for NuGet.

This is the .nuspec file:

<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2011/08/nuspec.xsd">

    <id>Cavity.Testing.Unit</id>
    <version>1.1.0.444</version>

    <file src="lib\net35\Cavity.Testing.Unit.dll" target="lib\net35\Cavity.Testing.Unit.dll" />
    <file src="lib\net40\Cavity.Testing.Unit.dll" target="lib\net40\Cavity.Testing.Unit.dll" />
  </files>
</package>

I have implemented framework targeting in my build process, so in this case I have two assemblies (.NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0) which I have copied into the lib subdirectory.

For a simple package like this, that is all you need to configure; just pack and push.
