* Package name : dotnet-core-3.1 Version : 3.0.100 Upstream Author : Microsoft <dotnetc...@microsoft.com> * URL : https://dotnet.microsoft.com/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: C++, C#, F# Description : Microsoft .NET Core SDK 3.0.100 .NET Core is a development platform that you can use to build command-line applications, microservices and modern websites. It is open source, cross-platform and is supported by Microsoft. Relevant information: This package is built from the Microsoft-provided source-build repository, which provides a source tarball for .NET Core specifically intended to meet "common Linux distribution guidelines". As Microsoft themselves point out, packaging this for main is useful because it lowers the barrier to use of .NET Core to one equivalent to other in-distro languages without requiring the use of third-party repositories, especially when the runtime is needed as a dependency of another package. (This latter is among my personal motivations for doing this, insofar as another package I have in process, systemd-genie, requires this.) I anticipate maintaining this package myself; this should be quite simple given the dotnet/source-build repository which provides all necessary components to be packaged in the proper form, and will become even simpler once bootstrapping is no longer necessary. I will, however, need a sponsor.
