dotnet
Project build system support for ref assemblies (PCL bait-and-switch)
From @fubar-coder on 24 May, 2016
Copied from: dotnet/cli#3211
Steps to reproduce
You want to create a bait-and-switch NuGet package by specifying a build for the ref folder instead of the lib folder.
Expected behavior
A way to specify in the csproj/xproj/project.json that the build output is packaged to the ref, instead of the lib folder.
Actual behavior
No way to include it except by using packInclude (or similar means).

We're not going to be doing features like this as we're eventually moving to msbuild based projects. This kinda of feature has far reaching impact of things like tooling, nuget, intellisense, etc.

That's why I wrote: "Project build system", not explicitly project.json. There should be a way to do this kind of stuff with msbuild based projects.
