I'm looking for information on building my own Starter Kit. The information I have run across so far is either out of date or missing important information.
The Creating a Package page (https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/extending/packages/creating-a-package) is a bit outdated, as it looks like it was written for Umbraco 9. It mentions downloading a package.zip file, but the section on building a nuget package does not mention where to place the package.zip or package.xml, only that we copy files from the project that was used to build package.zip (???).
I have DocTypes and Views so the download is only a package.xml file. I'm not sure what to do with the file. I also need to include a DLL in the package.
Paul Seal has a create writeup on building a starter kit (https://archive.24days.in/umbraco-cms/2017/creating-and-publishing-a-package/), if you are using Umbraco 7, and probably pre-DotNet Core versions. Thanks Paul your posts have been immensely helpful.
Thanks Huw. I did a quick read and this looks like it will just fine. I'm saving this little project for tonight. I will let you know how it turns out.

Hi Eric,
I created a blog post on how I migrated my umbraco 8 forum package to umbraco 10 and nuget, it should point you in the right direction

Hi Eric
I did a 2 part video series on how to do this in Umbraco 9 that should work for Umbraco 10 and 11 too.
