Sander, sorry, but your thinking looks childish. Smile | :) OF COURSE you need I-net to download libs, BUT you need it only during session. After that you can bring libraries to other OFFLINE PC and do update. You probably will be surprised, but in some workplaces there is no access to Inet at all.
Anyway, forcing user to be always online is crazy.


Also, why do it manually when you have tools that do the update for you?


Because you never develop serious software. Imagine author of the lib made... breaking changes! HOW do you know about that if you blindly trust "update for you"? Poke tongue | ;-P
And not only that. Imagine lib was infected. Or obtained additional (and dangerous) dependency. Or hell knows what, what is UNDESIRABLE for your project. Don't think all developers are smart! They CAN make mistakes and you will be the victim of this.

Now imagine you have $1,000,000 contract, you need to supply s/w, but... you cannot - because you rely on "silent updates" and broke the build. CONGRATS, you f**** up your contract and loose all money.
Any other naive questions "why"??

As a professional developer, one of your skills must be "CONSERVATIVE". No any jumps w/o reason. No following hype. If you have stable process, it should stay same stable.


My complaint is only that NuGet proposes updates that would not run on my version of .NET


Pray that only this EASY problem appeared. Problems can be much worse and "silent updates" is the reason. It's like allowing children to "play" on your PC! Don't complain they updates your Windows 7 till 10! Big Grin | :-D
