Description

I would like to be able to define sources outside of a particular project's paket.dependencies file. We maintain a large number of project's, which share a common set of sources, which should not be replicated across multiple files.

This would also solve another issue: when releasing a project, the sources should change to use sources that provide released dependencies only rather than snapshots that are used during development. Currently, it is necessary to modify the paket.dependencies file for that, which is tedious. There may be other solutions to this particular problem, e.g. using conditional sources within a paket.dependencies file.

Research direction

Start by examining how paket.dependencies defines and consumes package sources. Compare the requested shared-source configuration with conditional sources and release-versus-development source selection; done means projects can share sources and switch source sets without repeatedly editing each paket.dependencies file.
