Document the "star" behavior in Nuget #1216
Comments
I mention it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/tutorials/managing-package-dependency-versions But it probably should be more prominent and in another article. |
@cartermp who would know how this is behaving now? @livarcocc can you help? |
I'm pretty sure it behaves the same as it did in the project.json days, modulo some bug fixes since then. |
No longer relevant |

The "star" in NuGet means essentially a wildcard: bring the highest number of the part of the version where the star is.
We should document how this works as well as why it is not a recommended practice, especially w.r.t the platform metapackage(s). For more information on why this is a problem, please refer to dotnet/cli#2454.
