Package redirects

[SimonCropp]

In many cases people want to rename a package. ATM there is no easy way to do this, you basically have to release a broken version of the old package with some kind of message to move to the new package. It would be nice to have this handled in a more seamless way by nuget.

If you are willing to hack many things in the nuget toolset then you can handle it yourself, but it is painful. Here is the work we had to do to move users to a new package Particular/NServiceBus#2113

That's something I've been wanting for a while for a few more scenarios.

This issue should go to the home repo, as it is not a server issue.

Worth a good discussion to cover all the scenarios (both tooling and user scenarios).

Thanks!

@yishaigalatzer is there an existing issue tracking it? or should i move this to the home repo?

Move it. This is something I wanted as a nuget customer. But I don't believe it is tracked on github
