What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI'm not sure if it will help in your scenario, but faced with a similar problem (~80 project solution, mixed c#/f#, with varying dependencies), I found success with Paket (https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket)
It is much more prevalent in the f# community (at this point `dotnet restore` is a perfectly fine default until you hit trouble), but isn't limited to just being applied there.
In The Case for C# and .NETI'm not even going to bother.
Nuget is such a pile of rubbish it's not even worth arguing about; if that's the best package manager you've ever used, you should really go check https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket out.
(they also helpfully articulate why nuget isn't really very good)
The irony is that the folk from go-world have finally acknowledged the package management solution they have is really terrible, and they're building a lovely new one (https://github.com/golang/dep).
Maybe sometime in the future you'll be eating your words, when go has a lovely package manager.
...and c# still has nuget.
