Paket supports several options, configured at different levels:

• content: none (global)
• framework (for nuget in paket.dependencies)
• copy_local (paket.references)

I think we should streamline these to let the user define any option on any level (global, package level, reference level) with the possibility to enhance the option set or override default options on lower levels (comparable to Git's three-level configuration system).

The syntax should be streamlined to the one discussed here.

paket.dependencies:

copy_local: true
framework: >= net40
content: none

nuget Foobar 1.2.3 copy_local: true, framework: >= net40, content: none

paket.references:

Foobar copy_local: true, framework: >= net40, content: none

Current status

• content
• framework
• copy_local
• import_targets

paket.dependencies per-package support:

• content
• framework
• copy_local
• import_targets

paket.references support (only per-package):

• content

• import_targets
