Original Pull Request: https://github.com/quamotion/dotnet-packaging/pull/98

State: closed
Merged: No

I needed to set a custom version for my deb packages but nothing seemed to go right.

The ---version-suffix command option sets the $(VersionSuffix) property in the project, however this property is not used anywhere, as opposed to $(Version) or $(PackageVersion).

I was only able to set custom version for my deb packages by invoking the package tools manually and setting /p:Version={version} property.

This pull request changes the command option from ---version-suffix to a simple -v | --version that sets the $(Version) property, the one actually used by Packaging.Targets.
