Create debian packages for armhf architecture

[sensslen]

I don't see why debian packages are only generated and supported for x64 architecture. We are using .net on a raspberry pi and would love to be able to simply apt install dotnet.

Is there any reason for not generating these packages? Unfortunately I was not able to locate where the packages are built.

Look This https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/dotnet/core/install/linux-debian Package manager installs are only supported on the x64 architecture. Other architectures, such as ARM, must install .NET by some other means such as with Snap, an installer script, or through a manual binary installation.

So,you can try https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-scripted-manual#scripted-install

I know about these alternate methods of installation. Unfortunately neither does install dependencies… so in fact I have to manually install the dependencies or build a Debian package on my own. This is what I‘m currently doing. What I don‘t understand: why do you restrict package distribution to x64? Is there any chance that this might change? Could you give me a hint where the packages are built, so I can evaluate using a similar procedure to build the packages for arm?

thanks

Any news on this?

Old issue triage: I don't believe there are any plans for additional packages for this @richlander @MichaelSimons

There are currently no plans - cc @ashnaga

As suggested, we have no plans to offer this. You can install binaries directory or use the install script.
