Eric Erhardt 7573689a22 Removing www.myget.org in our tests.
We have a bunch of NuGet.Config files in our tests that were needed before because the tests were run out of a temp directory.  Now the tests are run out of the artifacts folder, which is a subdirectory of our repo root, so the root NuGet.Config will get picked up.

I also updated all the dotnet-core feeds from www.myget.org to dotnet.myget.org.

Known issues & workarounds

El Capitan support

If you try to use the dotnet commands on El Capitan (OS X 10.11), you will encounter errors as it is not currently fully supported for all scenarios.

Issues tracking this:

Affects: most of the commands, but more than likely you will not be able to use dotnet compile and dotnet-run on El Capitan. For others, there is a workaround.

Workaround: use the --runtime switch with the value of osx.10.11-x64 in dotnet restore and dotnet publish and you will be able to run your app from the published directory.

Resolving the Standard library packages

The StdLib package is on a MyGet feed. In order to restore it, a MyGet feed needs to be added to the NuGet feeds, either locally per application or in a central location.

Issues tracking this:

Affects: dotnet restore

Workaround: update to the latest bits and run dotnet new in an empty directory. This will now drop a nuget.config file that you can use in other applications.

If you cannot update, you can use the following nuget.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <!--To inherit the global NuGet package sources remove the <clear/> line below -->
    <clear />
    <add key="dotnet-core" value="https://dotnet.myget.org/F/dotnet-core/api/v3/index.json" />
    <add key="api.nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

Uninstalling/reinstalling the PKG on OS X

OS X doesn't really have an uninstall capacity for PKGs like Windows has for MSIs. There is, however, a way to remove the bits as well as the "recipe" for dotnet. More information can be found on this SuperUser question.
