C# Extension support for new Linux Distros with .NET Core
Linux distribution support is a little tricky for the C# extension's debugger as it needs a version of .NET Core to run on top of.
There are four buckets that various Linux distros might fall into --
In this case the C# extension team should be able to produce a new version of the C# extension fairly soon after the .NET Core team publishes nuget packages which the C# extension can download.
In this case it is just a matter of tweaking this switch statement which parses the output from cat /etc/os-release
. While we cannot commit to testing on these unofficial distros we are happy to accept a PR to enable the distro, and if there are minor bugs in the debugger we are happy to try and fix them as well.
For these distributions, the debugger installer class can be run as a gulp task. So it might be possible for the community to provide an install script which will find the current installed C# extension, use gulp to have the debugger and OmniSharp download the version of the extension from some other Linux distro, and then patch the CoreCLR/FX which they are running on. The C# extension team is happy to accept tweaks to the install code to make this easier.
vsdbg is the cross-platform .NET Core debugger backend. It is based on the same debugger as Visual Studio, and so is a closed-sound product. Distributions where the current public version of vsdbg cannot run are difficult to deal with. In general, we would need official support from the .NET Core team in these cases. Though feel free to open an issue to discuss the problem.
