SourceLink is a joke

[EvilVir]

The goal of the project is to enable anyone building NuGet libraries to provide source for their users with almost no effort.

Never, ever, despite numerous hours lost, I was able to make this thing work on any of my projects. Easy you say? Ton of strange, undocumented switches and options to configure. Anyone? Well it fails on basic scenarios like one solution having multiple NuGets in subprojects.

Debuging of external libraries was always hell in .NET, since day one. I always had wonder how come that Java and IDEs like IntelliJ could make decompilation and debugging of the external code just work out of the box, and Microsoft after almost 25 years is still struggling? To the point that some horrendous technologies, that requires constant access to source code repository hosted online, emerges?

Guys, this is NOT the way. Again.

Which source control server (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) is your repo on?

Depends, I had various projects on Azure DevOps' Git, on BitBucket where I tried to enable SourceLink for past few years. Now I'm fighting with local Gitea installation.

I have a solution with ~12 projects in subfolders (not sub-modules, just plain folders) from which 12 NuGets are built. All I get, after hours of fighting is this for every project, during build:

warning : Source control information is not available - the generated source link is empty.

And here's my latest config (but tried almost all combinations of these options):

	<PropertyGroup>
		<PackageReadmeFile>README.md</PackageReadmeFile>
		<GenerateAssemblyInfo>true</GenerateAssemblyInfo>
		<PublishRepositoryUrl>true</PublishRepositoryUrl>
		<EmbedUntrackedSources>false</EmbedUntrackedSources>
		<IncludeSymbols>true</IncludeSymbols>
		<SymbolPackageFormat>snupkg</SymbolPackageFormat>
		<RepositoryType>git</RepositoryType>
		<RepositoryUrl>https://git.dev.-----.com/---/---</RepositoryUrl>
	</PropertyGroup>

	<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)'=='Release'">
		<DeterministicSourcePaths>true</DeterministicSourcePaths>
		<ContinuousIntegrationBuild>true</ContinuousIntegrationBuild>
	</PropertyGroup>

	<ItemGroup>
		<None Include="README.md" Pack="true" PackagePath="\"/>
	</ItemGroup>

	<ItemGroup>
		<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.SourceLink.Gitea" Version="8.0.0">
		  <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
		  <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
		</PackageReference>
		<SourceLinkGiteaHost Include="git.dev.-----.com"/>
		<SourceRoot Include="$(ProjectDir)/"/>
	</ItemGroup>

And here's the build command on Gitea's build pipeline:

/bin/dotnet/dotnet pack ./----.sln --include-symbols --configuration Release --output /output /p:Version=1.0.139

I want it to be standard NuGet nupkg + snupkg with symbols and everything else. No go :( Any ideas?
