The .NET 8 SDK adds support for "Artifacts Output Layout", which moves the per-project support folders like
bin/andobj/to a common location outside of the project folders, as well as adjusting naming conventions around Configuration (Release, Debug...) and Target Framework Monikers (net8.0, ...).Although the feature arrives in the .NET 8 SDK, it works for projects that target older frameworks, so this is appropriate even before the upcoming phasing-out of old frameworks.
We enable the feature, simplify
.gitignore, and visit all hardcoded paths affected by the move.Additionally, since this creates some ambiguity of purpose between the new
src/artifacts/folder and our rootartifactsfolder where packages are output during CI builds, we rename that root folder to the more accurate namepackages.There was some risk that this feature would thwart old naive assumptions about build output paths with respect to their associated project code folder, but after testing console and IDE runs it appears we were already being defensive about the possibilities of custom OutputPath in any end user solution.
