Hello Simon,
Thanks for your contribution.
This just packages pre-compiled binaries. The Alpine Linux policy
requires (with limited exceptions) packages to be built from source.
I understand the reasons. I've been told on #alpine-devel that somebody
is already working on building dotnet from sources.
There were people involved with .net who were working on doing that.
I've also understood there was working being done on a new build system
that makes that easier.
The issue comes from the fact that dotnet requires msbuild to build, and
msbuild can't be built by mono, but the binary could help to get the boostrap
started.
I'll keep an eye for it on the project on IRC if I can help.
Cheers,
Simon
In any case, there is the [dotnet-bootstrap][0] project that has
pointers on how to get started.
Kind regards, Kevin
