---------------------------------------
This issue has already been resolved. Apache.Avro is published to nuget.
> Publish the Avro C# library to NuGet
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1431
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1431
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: csharp
> Affects Versions: 1.7.5
> Reporter: Sid S
> Priority: Major
>
> ASF's Avro library is currently distributed as a downloadable .tar.gz file
> from the project web site for C# projects. A more streamline approach would
> be to distribute the library (and perhaps tools) as NuGet packages so that
> project repositories using Avro can instead get the l;ibrary from NuGet at
> build time (very similar to Maven's library dependency resolution).
> How to make a NuGet package:
> http://docs.nuget.org/docs/creating-packages/creating-and-publishing-a-package
> To be able to run NuGet on Linux (eg: build machine or dev machine):
> http://monomvc.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/nuget-on-mono/
> The desire to have Avro on NuGet is motivated by two main benefits
> 1) Easier integration and lightweight code-repositories for all
> consumer-projects of the Avro library
> 2) Counters the effects of finding an incompatible "Avro" library on NuGet.
> (Details: Currently searching for Avro on NuGet brings up the Microsoft
> Hadoop team's Avro library which forces every Avro field to be nullable =>
> alters the schema => breaks wire compatibility in cross-platform
> environments. Having the official ASF Avro library on NuGet would prevent
> people from accidentally using that incompatible library)
> For the best flexibility, we can have two NuGet packages:
> 1. "Avro" = Library only (this will cover the avro.dll)
> 2. "Avro Tools" = The code-gen tools for IDL compiling as well as Schema
> compiling
