React to breaking RID change in .NET 8 Preview 6

[halter73]

There's a breaking change to the .NET SDK coming in .NET 8 Preview 6 (Not preview 5 like the docs indicate @gewarren) that makes any app depending on SQLitePCLRaw.core to output a warning like the following at runtime:

You need to install the latest preview 6 SDK which isn't yet released to repo. In the meantime, you can install the nightlies from https://github.com/dotnet/installer#table

Once you do, you can create a basic console app using something like dotnet new console, make sure you're using a preview6 SDK with a global.json, replace the csproj with:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="SQLitePCLRaw.lib.e_sqlite3" Version="2.1.5" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

If you run or publish the app, you see the following warning. Fortunately, this does not stop the app from running successfully, but it adds noise to the output of any app depending on the package directly or transitively.

Hello, World!

My understanding is that RIDs like alpine-arm should be replaced with just linux-musl-arm which already exists. Similarly, browser-wasm should be replaced with just wasm. I'm not sure about the maccatalyst targets. I assume the osx binaries are incompatible since they come from a different build artifact in the nuspec.

@gewarren @elinor-fung @richlander I think the breaking change announcement might need to go into a lot more detail about what's allowed. It wasn't clear to me that wasm is probably the intended replacement for browser-wasm until looking at dotnet/runtime#83246. WASM isn't mentioned anywhere in the breaking change announcement. Neither are the full list of OS's, libc versions, and processor architectures.

@davidortinau Do you know what the plan is for libraries that target maui-supported RIDs like maccatalys, android and ios?

@roji Heads up in case you start seeing this in Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.Core

Thanks @halter73, /cc @bricelam

Similarly, browser-wasm should be replaced with just wasm. I'm not sure about the maccatalyst targets.

This is actually a bug in the warning. It should not be flagging those two. dotnet/sdk#33584 should be fixing it.

My understanding is that RIDs like alpine-arm should be replaced with just linux-musl-arm which already exists.

It seems to be a direct copy. I think alpine-* should just go away:

SQLitePCL.raw/gen_lib_nuspecs/Program.cs

Lines 409 to 417 in 760d88f

	// TODO seems sad to put two copies of each musl, one for linux-musl- RID and one for alpine- RID
	write_nuspec_file_entry_native_linux(lib, "musl-x64", "linux-musl-x64", f);
	write_nuspec_file_entry_native_linux(lib, "musl-armhf", "linux-musl-arm", f);
	write_nuspec_file_entry_native_linux(lib, "musl-arm64", "linux-musl-arm64", f);
	// TODO seems sad to put two copies of each musl, one for linux-musl- RID and one for alpine- RID
	write_nuspec_file_entry_native_linux(lib, "musl-x64", "alpine-x64", f);
	write_nuspec_file_entry_native_linux(lib, "musl-armhf", "alpine-arm", f);
	write_nuspec_file_entry_native_linux(lib, "musl-arm64", "alpine-arm64", f);

[ericsink]

So the musl part of this change looks straightforward. I just need to delete those alpine RIDs.

The change from browser-wasm to wasm would be straightforward as well, if in fact that is the needed change. I'm not clear on that.

And I'm even less clear about whether any other changes are needed w.r.t. MAUI stuff.

But none of this is difficult once I'm sure I'm doing it right. :-)

[elinor-fung]

The only change needed should be removing the alpine RIDs.

The other ones that were flagged (brower, maccatalyst) were flagged incorrectly - it was a bug in the warning itself.

[bricelam]

@elinor-fung The Alpine RIDs were removed from the package, but we're still getting an error in dotnet/efcore:

We're using a very recent build of the SDK:

.NET SDK:
 Version:   8.0.100-rc.1.23407.2
 Commit:    c7045b1a4a

The SQLitePCLRaw.lib.e_sqlite3 package now has the following:

• runtimes/
  • browser-wasm/
  • linux-arm/
  • linux-arm64/
  • linux-armel/
  • linux-mips64/

That looks like dotnet/sdk#34003 (based on logs from https://dev.azure.com/dnceng-public/public/_build/results?buildId=369044&view=results).
