Packaging ASP.NET 5 applications and deploying using Web Deploy provider

I'm just trying out ASP.NET 5 and seeing how to set-up CI and deployment using AppVeyor. How do I create a build artifact to be used to deploy the site (to an Azure AppService)?

Repo: https://github.com/JSkimming/MicroservicesDemo (right now I'm ignoring appveyor.yml)
Build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/JSkimming/microservicesdemo

Build is going fine, but when I enable "Package Web Applications for Web Deploy" it doesn't. Which isn't entirely surprising as it's not an option in the Visual Studio publish wizard.

From reading another thread, the corresponding GitHub issue, and the fact that "ASP.NET 5 application" is an option for the WebDeploy provider, it seems I should be able to do do this, but how?

   Hi James,

   There is no automatic packaging for ASP.NET 5 apps yet.

   You can use dnu publish command to publish ASP.NET 5 app to a folder then push that folder as zip artifact. Take a look at this sample appveyor.yml: https://github.com/FeodorFitsner/appveyor-deployment/blob/master/ap...

   Hi Feodor

   I've managed to zip up the output of dnu publish, but how can that be deployed using WebDeploy? I've tried but I just get an error.
