[GitHub] thrift issue #1355: Minimal C# library version for .NET Standard 1.4, 1.6, ....
Github user aloneguid commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1355 Sorry guys I'm giving up. Personally I think getting a real value from contributing to main repo is not worth the effort due to many showstoppers. This may be a reason why there are so many forked versions exist. I don't mean to offend anyone here. ---

Github user aloneguid commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1355 @gideonkorir 1.1 is fine unless we hit some limitations. Generally 1.4 is the "safe" version of .net standard, which can be used on embedded devices, clusters, desktops etc. However, it's not compatible with .NET 4.5, which by itself reached end of support stage, and is a pain in the neck in terms of security and compatibility. If you need to support .NET 4.5 it's generally better to cross-compile to .net standard and .net 4.5 instead of just targeting .net standard, currently I do this in https://github.com/elastacloud/parquet-dotnet ---

Github user aloneguid commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1355 I'm more than happy to do that. @Jens-G in .net ecosystem nuget package manager is quite popular, do you have any guidance how we can automatically publish this as you do with Maven? ---

Github user aloneguid commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1355 @gideonkorir from what I can see .net core lib was created in times when .net core was in early stages, has some classes renamed and doesn't align with existing csharp project. There is no need to have that library, just cross-compile csharp library with modern .net core sdk. ---

Github user aloneguid commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1355 @Jens-G THRIFTCORE is a simple pre-processor directive which when set excludes files which require dependency on external libraries in .NET Standard, essentially producing a minimal library of Thrift. At the moment you have csharp library for .NET 3.5 and 4.5. Then, there is another library for .NET Core which to be honest is completely useless as it downloads so many dependencies that it's impossible to use in any web project as they quickly become conflicting. Ideally there must be just one single .NET project which cross-compiles to both .NET classic and .NET Standard. There is no need for .NET Core as .NET Standard covers it (is it maybe coming from misunderstanding of library creators in differences between .net core and .net standard?). All I'm adding is a new project referencing all existing files. The project simply excludes stuff which is not covered by least common denominator of .NET Standard 1.4, 1.6 and .NET 4.5, but allows you to use Thrift on any device. This can be carefully extended further to support all Thrift features. however it's more complicated with .NET Standard as unlike .NET it doesn't have all socketing, networking etc. built in and needs external references. I would suggest though having 1 main package with core functionality as I just did, and adding more libraries which implement specific features (sockets, web http etc.) as they require specific dependencies. ---

GitHub user aloneguid opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1355 Minimal C# library version for .NET Standard 1.4, 1.6, .NET 4.5.1 This adds another project type to C# library which allows it to be build for .NET Standard 1.4, 1.6 and .NET 4.5.1. The project turns off all dependencies (only the new project, existing ones are untouched) to build the core thrift library.
