The work for this feature and the discussion around the spec is tracked by 3 issues
- Icon - Package Icon should be able to come from inside the package #352
- License - Package trust - Licenses #4628
- Documentation - Nuspec - documentation / readme url #6873
- Icons - package authors are required to find a place to host an image, only to point to it for the package icon. Additionally, loading images from external URLs have potential security and privacy concerns for package consumers.
- License - it is possible to update the page contents at the referred license URL raising legal concerns for package consumers.
- Documentation - it is not possible for package authors to update the documentation on the package details page without going to NuGet.org. This information is not surfaced in Visual Studio to package consumers.
- NuGet package consumers that consume packages using Visual Studio package manager UI (VS-PMUI) from NuGet.org (v3 feed) and folder based feeds
- NuGet package authors that push to NuGet.org
