Adding Runner without dependencies to other database types

[oivindth]

It should be possible to add migration runner without adding dependencies to other database types.

Can AddFluentMigratorCore() and IMigrationRunner be moved to FluentMigrator.Runner.Core package so that I can add Runner.Core package instead of Runner package which has all the db dependencies?

Hi @oivindth , there is an open PR for this concept. #1198 . I haven't given it much attention because I've been doing a lot of "product management" type work after taking over the project from @fubar-coder .

I think it should be possible to do as you suggest. The main blocking ticket is for me to finish up #1178 and merge the 4.0 branch with the 3.0 branch (75% done).

I did an initial review of @gliljas #1198 PR this morning. My synopsis is here; #1198 (review)

I agree, this would be nice.

In the meantime, does anyone know of a workaround. Adding a dependency to FluentMigrator.Runner adds entirely too much dll bloat to my application.

This looks like a duplicate of #903

I'm working this month on 4.0 for the first time in over a year. Hopefully that's the solution.
