What's the difference between DEBUG and RELEASE builds?

[Markus Weimer <ma...@weimo.de>]

Hi,

we maintain two different profiles in our .NET build. One called `DEBUG`
and the other called `RELEASE`. The only difference I see is that
`RELEASE` also produces nugets by default.

Which makes me wonder: Wouldn't it simplify our lives if we only had one
profile? If we did, we could make creating the NuGets a build target as
opposed to a separate profile altogether.

As release build generates NuGet, it is much slower in building. Debug build is faster, and useful for debug during the development. That is the reason we have two separate profiles.
