Public bug reported: This is a follow up to the dotnet6 MIR (see LP: #2023531). We would like to have dotnet8 in main too, which was already discussed during the dotnet6 MIR (see comment 13 [1]).
The dotnet8 package is structurally nearly identical. We do this deliberately to lower the maintenance burden. [Notable differences] * There is a single public upstream repository [2] to download all the source code from, therefore uscan can be used to produce the a orig tarball. Note: We do not use uscan, because its limitations adds overhead for our purposes (e.g. using the security repository by default, removing non-linux files, conditionaly including ms prebuilds for bootstraping, etc.). * The source package and it's binary packages have a different upstream version scheme (see spec FO127 [3]). * The source package produces additional binary packages, which include managed code debug symbols (packages with the name pattern *-dbg-8.0). See upstream issue [4] and PR [5]. * We no longer need a .git folder in the orig tarball thanks of upstream efforts.
