This location and name is practically mandated by PackageES. Sorry ☹️.
This will ensure that all artifacts that we produce are versioned
properly:
| thing | version (ex.) |
|---------|-----------------|
| dll/exe | 0.7.1911.22009 |
| nupkg | 0.7.191122009 |
| appx | 0.7.3269.0 |
For reference, here's the version format:
### EXE, DLL, .NET Assembly
0.7.1911.22009
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | | | | `-Build # on that date
| | | | `-Day
| | | `-Month
| | `-Year
| `-Minor
`-Major
### NuGet Package
0.7.191122009
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | | | | `-Build # on that date
| | | | `-Day
| | | `-Month
| | `-Year
| `-Minor
`-Major
### AppX Package
0.7.03269.0
^ ^ ^ ^^ ^
| | | || `-Contractually always zero (a waste)
| | | |`-Build # on that date
| | | `-Number of days in [base year]
| | `-Number of years since [base year]
| `-Minor
`-Major
[base year] = $(XesBaseYearForStoreVersion)
It is expected that the base year is changed every time the version
number is changed.
