runtime: System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow 4.8.0 requires too many packages to install in VS 2015

We use System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow library 4.7.0 in VS 2015 project. It is a single library for .NET 4.5

When we upgrade to 4.8.0, it requires a lot of other libraries. This makes is painful to upgrade and to create new deployment and installer for our project because we must now include many unnecessary libraries.

3.6.0 contains support for ns2.0 which is on the downloads page. 3.5.0 is marked as the Latest which is confusing since it refers to the recommended release.

emgarten on Nov 10, 2017

@jozefizso to fix this issue you need newer tools, at least a newer nuget client that understands the latest nuget target framework mappings. Once you have that this should no longer be an issue.

weshaggard on Nov 10, 2017

What about VS2017? Installing 4.8 to a project targetting .net 4.5 includes the netstandard dependencies. Is there something that can be done to fix this with the dataflow project or do we need to wait for VS2017 to include a newer version of NuGet?

There does seem to be a difference, which could be seen as a bug, between 4.7 and 4.8 package which is when targeting .NET 4.5 we no longer have a empty dependency group in our nuspec. It doesn’t block the usage of the package but it does cause extra dependencies to be installed which is annoying. This is likely an issue with any of our PCL based packages. I will reopen this issue to see if we can improve some of the scenarios. We still need to have the new nuget when targeting .NET Framework 4.6.1+ and .NET Standard 2.0, there isn’t anything we can do in the package to help that scenario.

weshaggard on Nov 28, 2017

Looking at the download page at https://www.nuget.org/downloads it appears the highest version of nuget for VS2015 is 3.5.0, but I’m not sure if that includes the .NET Standard 2.0 changes. @rrelyea @emgarten do we have a version of nuget for VS2015 that supports this new mapping?

weshaggard on Nov 10, 2017

We didn’t drop support for VS2015, we simply added new dependencies in our new package version, which is common practice. If you would like to eliminate those dependencies and remain on the new package version then I was simply suggesting that you could update your tools to accomplish that.
