Mark Ward commented on LOG4NET-395:
-----------------------------------
The nuget package link is http://www.nuget.org/packages/log4net/
It is not obvious that ASF does not maintain this package. In the NuGet
package manager in Visual Studio it lists Created By as "Apache Software
Foundation" but the owner is "cincura.net"
I don't think this issue is a duplicate although might be related because both
focus on app.config. The nuget package is adding a new app.config file to the
projects. It even adds app.config files to assembly projects. If the project
already contains an app.config file the nuget package will add a console
appender to the app.config.
It is also adding a new AssemblyInfo.log4net.cs file with the contents of
"[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch = true)]" which breaks the
build if the project already contains a xmlconfiguration declaration.
> Nuget packaging problem - Creates app.config file in ALL projects when
> applying package.

> Key: LOG4NET-395
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-395
> Project: Log4net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Builds
> Affects Versions: 1.2.9, 1.2.10, 1.2.12
> Reporter: Adam Lith
>
> When installing (or updating!) the log4net nuget package it either:
> * Adds an app.config file if none exists
> * Transforms the app.config file if one exists.
> And it does this to all the projects that you apply the package to (as always
> with nuget).
> This is incredibly annoying because then I have to manually delete the config
> files or revert the transformations.
> The common practice for nuget-packaging is to not perform zero transforms or
> content-type additions and instead supply a link in the description of the
> package to a tutorial for those that don's know how to get started.
