Detailed Description

Fedora currently includes .NET Core only on x86_64. We want to make .NET Core available on Aarch64 as well for our users.

.NET Core documentation calls the Linux/aarch64 platform "linux-arm64".

This platform has been supported by upstream .NET Core for a little while now (2 years or so). But upstream cross-compile it on x86_64. With recent upstream improvements, we can now build .NET Core for aarch64 on aarch64.

In the spirit of being First on Fedora, we want to make .NET Core available for aarch64 on Fedora.

Feedback

We don't have any feedback at this time from the community.

Upstream is enthusiastic and supportive of us enabling this in Fedora.
