.NET 6/7 are EOL

[JamieMagee]

.NET 7 went EOL on 14th May 2024^1. Similar to #202572, which dealt with the deprecation of .NET Core 3.1, we should make an effort to update or patch packages whick rely on .NET 7.

netcoredbg will stop relying on dotnet 7 with this PR: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/329845 roslyn-ls was upgraded with https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/318497

[pyrox0]

pinta now uses dotnet 8, see #327375 fsautocomplete relies only on the 8.0 sdk at runtime but still needs 6 and 7 for building, changed in #326130

removing both 6 and 7 from roslyn-ls: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/357963 - looking for reviewers/mergers.

• [ ] space-station-14-launcher https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/361563

~~Hi, just wanted to note that https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/361563 isn't actually removing neither .NET 6 nor 7 from any packages, it just changes how they depend on it so that temporarily (and mistakenly) they don't get marked as insecure. However we should still actually remove any references from .NET 6 and 7 from any packages modified on it.~~

You can now ignore this, @corngood has updated the commit to actually remove the 6.0 reference as it wasn't actually needed.

[corngood]

godot_4-mono seems to be missing from this list. specific issue here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/365975

[GGG-KILLER]

eventstore has a newer version upstream with .NET 8 support, however the license has been changed to an unfree one.

[GGG-KILLER]

msbuild repository has been archived. We should probably remove it.

I'll do it in a separate PR from the ones I'm doing currently. I'll have to figure out how removals work in pkgs/by-name.

space-station-14-launcher has an upgrade upstream (https://github.com/space-wizards/SS14.Launcher/commit/ed386b8a40a6a635cce7e1cbe221d697cb8f6d2a) but hasn't turned into a release yet, should an unstable version of it be made?

There are no maintainers so I'm unsure if this package should be kept at all unless if someone else picks it up.

Taking care of alttpr-opentracker, am2rlauncher, avalonia-ilspy, clr-loader, dafny, formula, gh-gei, ilspycmd, inklecate and knossosnet over at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/366067

OK, I'll have a look. Maybe in the newer version of NAPS2 they updated to a newer version of .NET.

[FliegendeWurst]

msbuild repository has been archived. We should probably remove it.

There is the newer https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/ we can use instead.

space-station-14-launcher no longer depends on dotnet 6 since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/362431 was merged.

On another note, ever since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/359409, the launcher has been broken for me (the launcher itself starts fine, but it can't launch the game). Since apparently only myself and one other unfortunate soul on the ss14 discord have ran into this, I'd guess the overall usage of this package is low.

Hi, I was wondering why I got the notification. I get it now, same name different person. Could still be a half-brother :D

Merry Christmas wishes jDanek :D

That's already part of the .NET SDK, I think the only use it had was compiling .NET Framework projects on Linux, but I don't know how to move on with those as I don't think there are .NET Framework targeting packs for Linux

Yeah, my bad 😅 I got used to most people using their GitHub usernames in the maintainers list that I didn't double check, I'm sorry.

hmm, any idea what could've happened to roslyn-ls In the past week? In my flake that uses it I've removed insecurePackages (dotnet 6 and 7 because my PR got merged) on Dec 10th and it worked fine, but today it started generating errors about insecure dotnet 6 again, and the trace points to roslyn-ls. I see there was only this https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/1cd9516969553291792021f1b327f0e2e2775b3c but it does not look like it could change that behavior...

I have automatic dep updates on that flake every Friday, so it worked on Dec 10th (manual update), worked on Dec 13th, and stopped working somewhere between Dec 13th and Dec 20th (today).

In particular, this works: https://github.com/konradmalik/neovim-flake/actions/runs/12253416030, and today this failed: https://github.com/konradmalik/neovim-flake/actions/runs/12424292928

Your PR did not remove the dependency on .NET 6, it's still in there, even though only packages and targetingPackages are being used, those are also insecure. That's why it's still (or should be) as pending on the list.

[konradmalik]

@GGG-KILLER thanks, this makes sense. @corngood suggested that this could help with the insecurePackages warning. Seems like it does not, which is fine, but I still do not understand why it did not generate warnings for me for more than a week and started to do so again today.

[GGG-KILLER]

Seems like it does not,which is fine, but I still do not understand why it did not generate warnings for me for more than a week and started to do so again today.

It used to, before we merged a change that made usage of packages from .NET 6 and 7 generate insecure warnings. So for a short while that "solved" the warnings (but shouldn't have, which is why we made that change).

This was done in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/363439

[GGG-KILLER]

gh-gei was done in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/366482 already. Will remove it from my PR.

[JamieMagee]

Looks like the remaining packages are:

• .NET 7.0
  • avalonia
  • wasabibackend
• .NET 6.0
  • eventstore
  • msbuild
  • networkminer
  • openraPackages.engines.release
  • roslyn

This package needs some more work. But I'd like to get it off .NET 6 first.
