Hi @gdivis,
thank you for your response.
I think it is a little bit confusing in general.
Just for clarification:
We are not using any symbol packages at all (neither .symbols.nupgk nor .snupkg). We are only embedding PDBs right into our .nupgk files. But it would be nice to strip the PDBs on package download. We can achieve this on ProGet by activating the symbol server for the legacy format.
I was just confused on why I have to use "legacy" for this approach since it is also standard to embedd the PDBs instead of using symbol packages.
I guess normally it won't be necessary to enable a symbol server if you are using embedded PDBs. But we want to see the symbol information for our packages and we want to be able to strip the PDBs on download.
It seems to be more of a hack to use the legacy symbol server for this but we achieve our goals doing so. No need to file a bug for this.
Thank you,
Caterina
