@omajid whoops. I should have read that section. it's talking about installing on versions prior to .NET being included. Perhaps that should be reverted? 馃槅 I could do that real fast with while approving the PR? |
Fedora 40 dropped .NET 7 because of the upcoming .NET 7 EOL. Also, .NET 8 is now available via package manager for all versions of Fedora.
I can revert it, but that section really confuses me. Is it about versions of .NET that were not in a specific version of Fedora? For example, Fedora 36 doesn't contain .NET 8. |

It's not tied to .NET 8, it's just instructions on how to add the MS repository to the older Fedora distros. I guess perhaps it's no longer needed. Should I just delete it? |
Yeah, it's not clear to me what we should do here. On one hand, .NET has been a part of Fedora since around Fedora 32. So maybe we shouldn't have anything past Fedora 32? On the other hand, the packages.microsoft.com repos already exist for newly-released versions of Fedora - such as Fedora 40 - too. If users want something before it's in Fedora (eg, updates on Patch Tuesday), or the newer 6.0.400-series SDK, they might want this repo. I guess I am happy with whatever makes you happy :) |
Summary
Fedora 40 is now available. Fedora 40 dropped .NET 7 because of the upcoming .NET 7 EOL.
