🎉🎉🎉 dotnet/runtime welcomes you 🎉🎉🎉

[ViktorHofer]

We welcome all our beloved community members from CoreCLR, CoreFx and Core-Setup as well as colleagues and partner teams. As announced, we migrated all the commits reachable from HEAD in the master branches in CoreFx, CoreCLR and Core-Setup. While doing that we trimmed out unreachable files and rewrote commits to point to the original repositories by appending a message to every commit.

Repo stats

Commits: 60,221
Objects: 1187850, 218.45 MiB
Deltas: 877978
Files: 50668

Workflow changes

CoreFx --> src\libraries
Core-Setup --> src\installer
CoreClr --> src\coreclr

We recommend that you use the helper scripts in the repository root which are available per partition (e.g. libraries.cmd/sh). Additionally make sure that the Software Requirements are met (e.g. long path support on Windows).

TODO

1. Mono isn't migrated yet. We expect this to be finished early next year.
2. Live builds across partitions (e.g. coreclr <--> libraries) isn't working yet both locally and in CI. This is our top-most priority and while changing our infrastructure to enable live builds, we need to make sure that we don't regress the product or test coverage.
3. No nightly builds available to test out until live builds are working.
4. Issues aren't migrated yet. ETA early December.
5. Docs are consolidated but require significant updates to accommodate the new paths and workflow changes.

What about CoreRT? Can we expect that there will be a full AOT compiler in the future?

[Gnbrkm41]

@hez2010, From dotnet/announcements#119:

Yes. We plan to retire/archive the corert repo. Some of the technology in the corert repo will be migrated to the master branch of dotnet/platform, where it will be productized as part of .NET. Other portions of the corert repo will be migrated to feature branches of dotnet/platform, where the experimentation can continue. In this way, we will use feature branches to continue experimenting with the corert technology, while making it easier to share portions with its shipping counterpart and also graduate functionality into master if/when it’s ready.

CoreFx --> src\libraries I don't understand the purpose of this renaming. Why not just corefx?

Don't forget to update pinned repositories of the organization.

Nice work Guys & Gals!! Must have been MAMMOTH effort to merge all this!
I think CoreFx --> src\libraries rename is fine. Helps differentiate prev corefx from the rest, as from someone only used to corefx, there is a lot more to get head around folder structure wise when trying to navigate it all. Nothing negative though!

Is there a directory tree doc outlining a brief description of whats what. I know that's not easy, but wondering if its been automated some how in docs? As after initial build the artifacts folder is quite daunting....

Is there a way to generate the .tar like that contains the runtime itself?
I'm looking how to integrate the runtime and sdk in projects like buildroot and yocto.

Not yet as we haven't enabled live builds. We are working on it.

Not yet as we haven't finalized the structure. We plan to move a few things around and Mono will join soon.

We don't use the term corefx anymore. Also internally our team was renamed to ".NET Libraries".
