Add source to nuget packages

[xivk]

Figure out how to add the source to the nuget packages or how to use some other way to enable package consumers to step through the code use to build.

Have you already looked into this?

What I'm seeing is one needs a "symbol package".

I searched a bit and didn't really find a solution that would work cross-platform and as seamless as I would like it to work. The issues I have with the solutions I found is that consumers of the packages have to explicitly take action to able to see the source. I was hoping there was a better solution.

I wouldn't mind including the source with the nugets if consumers could somehow step through them.

Also: It wouldn't be the end of the world if this didn't make it into 1.4, I was hoping for an easy fix for this.

I'm going to try this and see what it does.

@JoeCooper Did you manage to look at sourcelink? does that look like something we could use here?

Hey, sorry. I had to jump off this project and onto another client for a bit. I'm drowning in work at the moment :/
