.NET 9 Package Publishing

[richlander]

For .NET 9, we will be publishing packages at packages.microsoft.com for Azure Linux, Debian, OpenSUSE, and SLES. We previously published packages for other distros, like Ubuntu. We have stopped publishing packages for distros that publish their own .NET packages.

The reasoning:

• Users with .NET distro-archive packages available are typically best served by using those packages.
• Using packages that are available from multiple feeds can be confusing.

More context: #9258

Note: distro-archive packages are typically limited to the .1xx SDK band, while packages.microsoft.com packages are not. Users that want to use the latest feature band builds (on distros without packages.microsoft.com packages available) must install those builds manually.

Packages

We will publish packages for the following distros for .NET 9.

• Azure Linux 3.0
• Debian 12
• OpenSUSE 15
• SLES

We will not publish packages for the following distros for .NET 9.

• Alpine Linux
• CentOS Stream
• Fedora
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• Mariner (Azure Linux 2.0)
• Ubuntu

See Supported OS versions to see the complete set of supported operating systems.

@richlander can you include Alpine and Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the overview?

Good call. Updated. Thanks for that.

I think you meant OpenSUSE 15, not 42.3. Correct?

[richlander]

Yes. Thanks!

Hi,

https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=dotnet-sdk-10&submit=Search+...

Currently, .NET 10 is not available on RHEL-based distros. It is only available on Stream-based distros. As a result, applications crash without the SDK because certain methods are not implemented, even when targeting versions 8.0 or 9.0.

It's a strange decision... I can't even imagine something like MariaDB being unavailable on certain distros, even if it is packaged by the OS vendor.

We published rpms last week. How are you trying you install it?

I don’t understand what you mean.

.NET 10 is not available for RHEL-based distros yet (because it is only provided by vendor). If you list all dotnet-sdk-*, you won’t see version 10 available.
There's a significant gap between OpenSUSE, which has direct support from Microsoft, and distributions like Rocky, which rely on RHEL releases.
It would be great to have native Microsoft packages available for all platforms, even if vendor support is already declared.

I meant that on RHEL the .NET 10 rpms are available.

The RHEL-based distos follow RHEL packages. It's best to check with them on the status of .NET 10.
