Expanding on /internalize functionality about il-repack

[jahmai-ca]

I am currently looking at IL-Repack because ILMerge, Fody.Costura and LibZ all failed to meet my requirements. I was about to drop IL-Repack due to lacking internalization options and then I found this. I think this is exactly what I need. 👍

EDIT: Seems something like this has already been implemented in the main repo but isn't well documented?

The new functionality wasn't quite as good as what you had, so I forked the current branch and implemented the implicit export of transitively exposed types, which is pure gold and makes using IL-Repack so much easier.

Hi, I need this too. Where is the documentation for using the smart internalization ?

The master branch now has a subset of this functionality:

• you can now specify a set of assemblies to internalize (`/internalizeassembly:System.Foo /internalizeassembly:System.Bar)
• types which appear in the public API of the main assembly remain public
• /excludeinternalizeserializable will leave serializable types public
• there's a regex to exclude some assemblies or types from internalizing

However the opposite is still not implemented: forcing types to be made internal even if they're in the main assembly
