Description

Dotnet6 on Fedora supports s390x. Dotnet6 on Alpine should do so, too.

Parallel thread on Alpine Gitlab

Major roadblocks

As there are no dotnet6 prebuilt bootstraps release for s390x, we have to build our own by crosscompiling from x86_64 to s390x. Crosscompilation scripts was kindly provided by the Fedora team, and added to a git repo on Apine's Gitlab instance for further work.

Hypothetical steps

1. clone aports, and cd aports/community/dotnet6-stage0
2. abuild deps to install build dependencies of dotnet
3. apk add quilt mono dotnet6-sdk
4. git clone https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/ayakael/dotnet6-s390x (original version here)
5. cd dotnet6-s390x && ./dotnet-s390x-prepare
6. ./dotnet-s390x-build
