Necessary bits for Mono.Posix about runtime HOT 7 CLOSED

@Tragetaschen , Thanks, we'll take a look at this.

from runtime.

@Tragetaschen, thanks for the suggestion. Can you elaborate on what you're looking to use this for, on what your scenario is? When you talk about compiling it against the aspnetcore50 stack, are you looking to use this on Windows, or are you just thinking forward to when the stack is available on Linux? If you've already generated a list of the types/libraries you're concerned about being missing, please do share. Thanks!

@stephentoub
Thanks for giving me the opportunity.

This is not for Windows. I'm indeed thinking forward to when this is going to be available on Linux. More specifically in the embedded realm, even though "embedded" can get quite large these days. Currently there is a full mono stack available and I can use that, but I hope to reduce this to .NET Core so I can benefit of the side-by-side capabilities.

I have started with an empty project.json and pulled in dependencies to reduce the error count, but there are still >500 left, of course with a lot of duplicates. Since both ends here can (and probably will) change, I don't think it's of much use to put that here.

So far, I figured out the following libraries as a requirement

                "System.Runtime": "4.0.20-beta-*",
                "System.Runtime.Extensions": "4.0.10-beta-*",
                "System.Runtime.InteropServices": "4.0.20-beta-*",
                "System.Net.Sockets": "4.0.0-beta-*",
                "System.Text.Encoding": "4.0.10-beta-*",
                "System.Runtime.Serialization.Primitives": "4.0.0-beta-*",
                "System.IO.FileSystem": "4.0.0-beta-*",
                "System.Collections": "4.0.10-beta-*",
                "System.Reflection": "4.0.10-beta-*",
                "System.Reflection.Extensions": "4.0.0-beta-*",
                "System.Console": "4.0.0-beta-*",
                "System.Threading": "4.0.0-beta-*",
                "System.Text.RegularExpressions": "4.0.10-beta-*",
                "System.IO": "4.0.10-beta-*",
                "System.Text.Encoding.Extensions": "4.0.10-beta-*",
                "System.Threading.Thread": "4.0.0-beta-*"

from runtime.

Moving this to Immo, since I feel this is more about the set of types we expose in .NET Core than cross platform specific stuff.

@Tragetaschen We've listed the APIs we plan to expose in .NET Core in the corefx-progress repo. Can you take a look at what is exposed and help us understand if this is sufficient for Mono.Posix?

from runtime.

@Tragetaschen, all the required assemblies (https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/94#issuecomment-63211643) can be tracked from CoreFX-Progress repo: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx-progress/blob/master/src-diff/README.md. Most of them are already "Done" and few are pending with "Coming" status. IMO, this (broader) issue can be closed as there are specific issues opened for porting remaining assemblies by @dotnet-bot (like https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/858 etc.). What do you think?

from runtime.

You are right. I'm already seeing a lot of progress and a lot of much more specific promises in focused issues (like the already referenced ones). Thanks!
