Closes#6944
Following PR #6945, further, reduce the total build time (without any disadvantages) by around 5 minutes by making sure there is a more even split between the 2 build jobs (the 2nd build job used to be much shorter).
Therefore this PR moves also the xUnit and Pester-Admin tests into the 2nd build job. If it is a daily/feature test commit, then the feature tests will also happen (only) in the 2nd build job. Because both jobs now run tests, the failfast option was removed. The final question from my side is whether running tests in 2 build jobs is OK for the daily build, which uploads code coverage results?
The time to wait for the AppVeyor build results is now 15 +/- 2 minutes, which is a huge improvement to what used to be around 28 minutes before the build matrix was introduced.
Fix man page conflict between stable and preview Linux package
- rename preview man page pwsh-preview
Fix /etc/shell entries not being created correctly for preview packages
Update links that contain 'en-us' culture to remove 'en-us' culture (if possible) and in some cases update to newer re-directed link to docs.microsoft.com
Address mac portions of PowerShell/PowerShell-RFC#115 (comment)
Make path when stable /usr/local/microsoft/powershell/6
when not stable (preview) /usr/local/microsoft/powershell/6-preview and symlink name pwsh-preview
allow side-by-side install of stable and preview
Also:
fix an issue where the utime work around for mac requires sudo
refactor some code into common functions
Change the *nix packaging over with the following changes:
Package name (as used by e.g. apt):
Non-preview releases are namedpowershell
Preview releases are named powershell-preview
Installation path:
No longer looks like /opt/microsoft/powershell/6.1.0/ or /opt/microsoft/powershell/6.1.0-preview.1/
Non-previews go to a path like /opt/microsoft/powershell/6/
Previews go to a path like /opt/microsoft/powershell/6-preview/
Path to executable symlink:
Allows SxS with preview
Non-previews linked to /usr/bin/pwsh or /usr/local/bin/pwsh on macOS
Previews linked to /usr/bin/pwsh-preview or /usr/local/bin/pwsh-preview on macOS

Reduce PR build time by 5 minutes by:
Having Packaging as a separate build job in a matrix -> runs in parallel in PR builds because the Microsoft account is a paid account that allows that (at no additional costs)
Not caching the dotnet folder anymore, which is too large and the overhead of zipping/unzipping/upload/download does not pay off (and fails in forked builds that are on a free AppVeyor account due to the size).
Setting the environment variable DOTNET_SKIP_FIRST_TIME_EXPERIENCE to 1 because the initialization of the dotnet CLI cache (1 minute) does not pay off for the whole build.
The total build time of builds on a fork that is on a free AppVeyor account and therefore does not have parallelism, remains the same due to the time saving of redundant caching.
This is just a simple example of what we can easily achieve, we could continue this pattern and split the test runs as per the referenced issue to bring PR builds down to 10 minutes (but this will incur an increase for fork builds on free AppVeyor accounts)
To support PowerShell modules built with .NET Windows Compatibility Pack, we decided that it was best to ship the WCP assemblies with PS Core. This also adds many new .NET APIs be default while only adding ~3.5 MB additional disk footprint (to a ~137 MB install currently).
Also update the build to adopt the official .NET Core 2.1.
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
Ubuntu 17.04 is EOL, so we need to update our packaging for Ubuntu 17.10. This updates the package script and build.psm1 to use 17.10 rather than 17.04.
* Build Update
- Change `TargetFramework` to `netcoreapp2.1` and removed unnecessary `RuntimeFrameworkVersion` from `PowerShell.Common.props`
- Update dotnet SDK to 2.1.300-rc1-008662
- Update `TypeGen` target in `Build.psm1` to work with 2.1
- Rename macOS runtime to `osx-x64` as the old build logic expects 10.12 and breaks running on 10.13 system.
- Remove `PackageReference` to `System.Memory` as it's part of dotnetcore 2.1
- Update search for `crossgen` executable to find the matching version
* Test Update
- Update test tools `WebListener` to latest `asp.net core`
- Marked `AuthHeader Redirect` tests as `Pending` due to change in CoreFX
The comparison to test if we were using sudo was failing when running as root. We would then run -v, and get a bad error message. fixing the comparison.
Update 'Get-ChangeLog' to make it more accurate
Use "||" as the delimiter instead of "|", so it works for commit message that has the pipeline operator in it.
Handle merges that create a merge node in history.
Do not treat powershell team members as external contributors.
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
Since a PR added support to opt out of telemetry via an environment variable, we can remove the,
always intended to be a temporary, solution of deleting a file to opt out of telemetry since the
environment variable can be defined at the system level and exist before even installing PowerShell Core.
Because the variable is defined as opt out, a value of true, yes, or 1 means no telemetry is sent.
- Implementation of PowerShell/PowerShell-RFC#115 (If anything changes in the RFC, we will treat it as a bug, and fix it later)
- Update registry and directory paths to use 6 for the version for stable and 6-preview for a preview release
- Add checkbox to set path
- default checkbox to off for preview builds and on for stable builds
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
