https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2142178 --- Comment #8 from Neal Gompa <ngompa13@xxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to Omair Majid from comment #6) > > It seems weird that we'd drop it though, given that we have the dotnet-host package generated too. > > So `dotnet-host` provides an entry point (`/usr/bin/dotnet`) to running all > .NET versions. Think of it like python's `venv` and `python3` all rolled > into one command. dotnet-host also provides man pages and a bunch of other > things. If we don't ship it we wont have .NET working at all. And we only > really need to ship one version of that: the version from .NET 7 will handle > .NET 6 just fine. > > > That said, it does make sense to me that RHEL wouldn't have this anymore, given that you'll keep adding new versions across the same major RHEL version. > > I plan to do the same for Fedora. Fedora 36 has .NET Core 3.1 (dotnet3.1), > .NET 6.0 (dotnet6.0) and I will be adding this .NET 7 (dotnet7.0) to Fedora > 36 and later. > > There just isn't a good reason for `dotnet` to exist as a separate package > when everyone (including upstream) expects users to install versions > explicitly. > > > But if you really want to drop it, the conditional is not very clear on that. > > I can fix that shortly with better comments, if you want. > > > And all the other dotnet packages will need cleanup for that too... > > Super long term, I do want to stop providing a plain unversioned `dotnet` > package everywhere, including Fedora. > > Would you be okay if I left dotnet3.1 and dotnet6.0 continue providing a > `dotnet` package and just remove it from dotnet7.0? Or would you prefer we > handle Fedora 38 and later differently than Fedora 37 and earlier? I'd prefer F38+ differently from older versions. You'll probably want to fix up the developer.fedoraproject.org content for this new reality, though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
