.NET 9 Package Publishing

[richlander]

For .NET 9, we will be publishing packages at packages.microsoft.com for Azure Linux, Debian, OpenSUSE, and SLES. We previously published packages for other distros, like Ubuntu. We have stopped publishing packages for distros that publish their own .NET packages.

The reasoning:

• Users with .NET distro-archive packages available are typically best served by using those packages.
• Using packages that are available from multiple feeds can be confusing.

More context: #9258

Note: distro-archive packages are typically limited to the .1xx SDK band, while packages.microsoft.com packages are not. Users that want to use the latest feature band builds (on distros without packages.microsoft.com packages available) must install those builds manually.

@richlander can you include Alpine and Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the overview?

Good call. Updated. Thanks for that.

I think you meant OpenSUSE 15, not 42.3. Correct?

[richlander]

Yes. Thanks!
