Is there a way to specify Build Action=None with nuspec?

My company has an assembly versioning package that I've written in powershell and is distributed amongst my colleagues via our internal nuget feed.

There are a couple of template files which can be user-modified afte开发者_JAVA百科r the package in installed. These files are being included in the package which we generate via

nuget pack xxxx.csproj

We've done a little investigation and there files are not packaged when we change the Build Action to None.

Is there a way to tell nuspec to add the files to the project with Build Action set to None*?

Alternatively is there a way to tell nuget pack to not include certain files in the package in generates?

1. NuGet pack has an Exclude parameter that can be used to filter out files that you don't want in your package.
2. If you want to include files that are auto excluded from your project then you need to add a nuspec to your project and add a element that includes that file.

More information here: http://docs.nuget.org/docs/creating-packages/creating-and-publishing-a-package#From_a_project http://docs.nuget.org/docs/reference/command-line-reference#Pack_Command

nuget pack will ignore any files or folders that start with period/full stop. So one easy way would be to rename your template files or the folder they are located in to start with a period/full stop if possible.
