We're looking for suggestions of CLI applications to test the #opencli specification against. Maybe you have some suggestions?

We're looking for a diverse set of applications that can push the spec to its limits, but all suggestions are welcome!

Home | Commodore

Not a joke: there is a new Commodore 64 coming out. “The glowing, translucent Commodore 64 isn’t a software emulator — it’s the first official C64 in over 30 years, with a few new tricks.” You can preorder now & cancel before shipping for a full refund. (via @ernie.tedium.co) [commodore.net]

To get Cake Issues working again, I need to publish a new version with Microsoft.Identity.Client updated. But the PR fails because the deletion of the package has broken the pipeline. As a consequence I need to disable pipelines for the sake of security

I think I'll have a beer now

Done, let's see if we get answers...

Microsoft was able to delete some of our packages without notice - what's the explanation? · NuGet Home · Discussion #14413 Full version here: https://aaronstannard.com/microsoft-delete-nuget-packages/ TL;DR version: We received this email to our NuGet administrator email addresses yesterday morning Email mentions a vul...

Seriously considering deprecating my Azure DevOps addins for @cakebuild.net.

What's the point in investing my free time in supporting users of Microsoft tools, if same Microsoft, if they made an error, decides to delete my @nuget.org package?

github.com/NuGet/Home/d...

#mvpbuzz

While I received an email that I should updated the (transitive) dependency, I didn't get any notification that it was actually deleted.

WTF @nuget.org? So there was a typo in an "XML comment" of Microsoft.Identity.Client, which is a dependency of a dependency of Cake.Frosting.Issues.PullRequests.AzureDevOps, which you deleted because of this.
A trustworthy ecosystem for you is one which breaks build pipelines?

EPIC FAIL

It's an honor to be renewed as a Microsoft MVP in the area .NET & DevOps for the seventh consecutive year in a row. Congratulations to all new and renewed MVPs 🎉 #mvpbuzz

Introducing OpenCLI Patrik Svensson's blog

I just published a blog post about the OpenCLI initiative. I think it's time we had a way to standardize CLI automation!

Feedback, suggestions, and thoughts are more than welcome.

Respect @devolutions.net, that's amazing ❤️

FFS, we (Cake) have advocating for running C# as scripts for more than 14 years, and before us ScriptCS.

It feels like I've been taking crazy pills, but this is not a new, world-changing thing. They've (finally!) just made it more ergonomic.

At least they could have credited prior art...

My reason to be renewed as an MVP was always "My daughter is proud of me receiving an award".

I think you can skip this argument after todays appearances at #msbuild conference.

It's possible for you to publish new addins with the `Cake.*` namespace.

Agree, except for legal aspects (which is one of the points in this case) where IMHO it is completely reasonable to point them out even if you neither have contributed, paid for it or even use the library.

Hey #dotnet folks if you’re using a CI/CD double check your resource URLs. A CDN has gone bankrupt and may cease operations in the next month. We are working to make transparent fixes but you can be proactive github.com/dotnet/core/...
