Doesn't run on Solaris and doesn't run on FreeBSD. An 'LTS' release means ... about 3 years. No thanks...

  It is expected to have preliminary FreeBSD native build in .net 8. There are already PRs for that

  LTS releases are every 2 years and there is a major version release every year. .NET 6 LTS .NET 7 .NET 8 LTS FreeBSD support has been in the works for a while: - https://wiki.freebsd.org/.NET https://wiki.freebsd.org/.NET - https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/14537 https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/14537

    "Long Term Support (LTS)—These releases are supported for three years from their first release." From my perspective, this is not "long term" ; but maybe others view it differently.

  How relevant is Solaris these days? Does it even make sense for them to add support when such a tiny fraction people would use it?
  • shrubble 4y ago
    It is still used by some, but most importantly it shows a lack of portability. In the past the view that "all the world's a VAX" hampered portability, now we have "Everything is MacOS/Windows/Linux"... yet lots of properly designed software is easily ported to all kinds of platforms, even the BeOS-derived Haiku...

      > most importantly it shows lack of portability If it already runs on two Unix-likes I don't see the absence of Solaris support showing lack of portability. I actually think Solaris usage is the _more_ important piece: software is made for users and if those users don't exist (or there's such a small number as to make the opportunity cost of development not worth it) then what is the point?
