This is a vote for removing strong naming from Lucene.NET effective immediately, affecting all future versions including the planned v3 bugfix release and obviously the v4 branch, arguments being:
1. This is a headache to manage, given dependencies may or may not be signed and as long as we are signed we can't use them without signing them first. At this point in time it's a blocker for us from releasing the v3 bugfix version. 2. Strong naming is pretty much pointless as it is anyway, especially since we are OSS and our key is public anyway. All main distribution channels (nuget, binary downloads) will not be signed, but we will provide a download link with a signed version for people who need a signed. This is to address needs coming from people who already have signed their projects. We will also publish a Wiki page describing this move in detail, with the hopes people will remove signing from their projects instead of using the signed version. Let's make the world a better place. -- Itamar Syn-Hershko http://code972.com | @synhershko <https://twitter.com/synhershko> Freelance Developer & Consultant Author of RavenDB in Action <http://manning.com/synhershko/>
