Maintain a NuGet package

[HarelM]

Describe the feature

Maintain a NuGet package.

Justification:
I'm using ES as part of my open source project.
The setup of this project requires the presence of ES.
In order for the setup instruction to be simpler I decided to store the binaries of ES as part of my repository (which is a bad practice) - I'm doing this since I write in C# and can't use java package managers such as Maven.
I'm planning on migrating all my 3rd party packages to NuGet but I prefer that the owners of the packages will maintain the NuGet package instead of me...
Any thoughts are welcome.

We are not going to do this as this is not a common way of distributing Java-based software.

Thanks for the quick response!
I hope you won't mind if I maintain suck a package for my project needs.
Planning on calling it IsraelHiking.ElasticSearch.

One note: it’s “Elasticsearch”, not “ElasticSearch”. 😀

@HarelM We are working on extracting the framework that we have as part of the .NET client for running integration tests against Elasticsearch. This framework can download Elasticsearch zip archives and run them. See elastic/elasticsearch-net#2767

This looks promising, but is 5 month old. :-/
Also I have a Windows service that runs on my production environment and a small cmd for dev so I only need the binaries themselves as a NuGet package. Although a code that downloads the relevant zip might be better, not sure though...

@HarelM let's have the discussion on the other issue please.

@russcam Sure, no problem, posted there my thoughts and current work.
