[Improvement] Chocolatey package 'gitversion' should point to 'gitversion.portable'

[pauby]

Is your improvement request related to a problem? Please describe.
It appears that the 'gittools' team maintain the Chocolatey package 'GitVersion' which is makred as 'Obsolete'. Given there is no other gitversion package, I would suggest it points to the 'gitversion.portable' package as it is causing confusion.

Detailed Description

Have the 'gitversion' Chocolatey package have 'gitversion.portable' as a dependency (and therefore act as a 'virtual package'.

Context

If you install the gitversion package you get an obsolete version that is simply a text file.

@gep13 what do you think about?

[gep13]

@arturcic I was actually talking privately with @pauby about this...

What is the current state of the GitVersion package on NuGet? https://www.nuget.org/packages/gitversion

It doesn't look like it is currently being updated. Is it now deprecated?

I think the original reason that we stopped updating the GitVersion Package on Chocolatey was because we had a package named GitVersion being pushed to NuGet. If that is no longer the case, then creating a meta package on Chocolatey makes sense to me.

[arturcic]

Agree, let's deprecate the GitVersion package and is there anything we should do in our build scripts to have the metapackage created?

[gep13]

Yes, we will need to modify the build script to include the creation of that package. I can try and take a look at this at some point, but it won't be immediately.
