This PR optimizes the download tasks to reduce build times. After the change we see a order of magnitude reduction in download times for Windows package signing and also the compliance tasks.
In addition to that the PR also makes changes to organize the build artifacts in folders.
Add compliance to Coordinated build
- Also switch to mac internal pool for release build
- Also turn some duplicate tasks into templates
- Also fix issue with vscode configuration which causes yaml files not to be recogized as yaml
As of #7892, the PowerShell repository no longer uses Git submodules.
This is fantastic from a workflow standpoint, and so all the notes about
how to deal with submodules (and all the build steps explicitly
initializing and updating submodules) can be safely removed.
The main purpose of this was to enable full symbols for windows release build.
Also makes explicit where we are optimizing and where we are not optimizing due to https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/29700
Add meta properties to mac VSTS YAML
- Add a property to clean the build machine
- Add a property to set the format of the build name
- add a property to set which queue to run the build in
create a PowerShellPackage...ps1 that works with these VMs (vs our custom VM)
create a script to create the \powershell folder with correct permissions
a YML VSTS build definition
Based on standard practices, we need to have a copyright and license notice at the top of each source file. Removed existing copyrights and updated/added copyright notices for .h, .cpp, .cs, .ps1, and .psm1 files.
Updated module manifests for consistency to have Author = "PowerShell" and Company = "Microsoft Corporation". Removed multiple line breaks.
Separate PR coming to update contribution document for new source files: #6140
