In the devel/msbuild port, where do the nupkg-* files come from in the msbuild port: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/tree/main/devel/msbuild This is my first time trying to patch a port, I understand that the port system has definitions to fetch nuget packages, (I have read the porter's handbook and ports.bsd.mk and similar files), however my question is: where did the maintainer find these lists of required NuGet packages for the msbuild port? (the content of the nupkg-* files). I have spent hours browsing the upstream [mono/msbuild repository on Github](https://github.com/mono/msbuild), but this is not clear to me. The build process of the upstream mono/msbuild is itself not trivial since upstream is meant to bootstrap msbuild for mono, and their repository says: "this should only be used to build msbuild itself". They have a multi-step build process: first fetch a prebuilt msbuild, then do the rest of the build using the freshly created msbuild. Therefore I'm having a really hard time trying to understand how the nupkg-* files have been constructed, and the overall strategy/approach the porter has followed. If I can finally understand where the content of the nupkg-* files comes from, I will be in a much better position to try to update the port to a version >= 16.3 since this is a hard requirement of the language server[Omnisharp-roslyn](https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn) providing IDE-like capabilities for csharp and other .NET languages to all text editors from emacs to vscode. I am trying to update the msbuild package, to have it work with the new lang/mono6.8 package [being worked on here](https://reviews.freebsd.org/rP557880).help
