NuGet.org handling of tool packages #5182

@nkolev92

Description

@nkolev92

As part of the global tools work, NuGet side spec, we will introduce a new package type.

The name of this package type is to be determined, I will update when that's done.

The 2 requests are the following:

  • NuGet.org should reject packages that include the global package tool and any other package type
  • Packages with this package type should display a “dotnet install packageId packageVersion” tab only, rather than the standard tabs.

This will need to be live in the 15.7 timeline of Visual Studio, potentially earlier tbd.
