Create an unsigned fsharp.core nuget package

[khanage]

I asked a little while ago on stackoverflow about deploying an application that has a dependency on fsharp.core to a remote machine where the remote machine doesn't have the fsharp redistributable installed.

As far as I am aware, if I have signed assemblies, any assembly that then references that must also be signed. This reduces the utility of creating core libraries in F#, and makes it (more) difficult to deploy any application that depends on it.

Is it therefore worthwhile to create an FSharp.Core.Unsigned nuget package?

Hi @khanage , Just deploy the signed FSharp.Core as one of the binaries of your application. Your other assemblies don't need to be signed, and nothing needs to be in the GAC.

Thanks @dsyme, I guess this wasn't all that complicated in the end. I added a reference to the FSharp.Core.Microsoft.Signed package in my library, and that came along for the ride.

Looks like the problem was just with a delay signed version of the assembly that I picked up from nuget.
