That's actually a lot better than it was when I helped with dotnet package review and bootstrap with 3.1. The main worry I have is how we're going to be able to build dotnet for a new architecture when nothing exists. RISC-V is the next big architecture, but the build for that will be difficult. It would also be good to have packaging guidelines for .NET applications, since there's a number of server and desktop Linux apps written in .NET languages that people would want to bring to Fedora. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
