Create obs spec that requires dotnet?

[depeo10]

Hello
I’m trying to create a spec file for 86Box-manager, but it requires dotnet-sdk-6.0.

DotNet doesn’t exist in the main repos, i"m sure there are third-party repos with DotNet, but how do I include that in the spec file?

Thanks!

Maybe I just should install dotnet under %prep myself in the spec file?

Normally you would link to this repository in your project and simply add BuildRequires for your packages. Whether you trust home repositories to depend on them is up to you.

Yes, that’s possible. More clean solution would be to package it in your repository together with your other software. OBS automatically uses the current project to resolve dependencies.

Oh, I see. So if understand this correctly, I have to create my oown dotnet package, If i want to to this the “correct way”?

dotnet-sdk is only required during the build, not on the clients, so the %prep method is probably the way to go.
