we nerf it in the source-build of avalonia:

      preConfigure = ''
        # closed source (telemetry?) https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/discussions/16878
        dotnet remove packages/Avalonia/Avalonia.csproj package Avalonia.BuildServices
      '';

but that needs work before other packages can use it.

it should just be build-time, in sandbox, but it's still shady

I think it's a nice idea on paper but has a lot of issues in practice.

Let's say libc for example (ofc nothing in .NET uses it but anyways), there are like 2 or 5 packages that provide that and maybe not all of them could work.

Or maybe openssl, that has 1.1.x and 3.0 versions, which one does the package want if they only specifcy openssl.so?

I don't think we'll be able to get rid of this anytime soon, just like Rust can't nor any other native lang really

needs something like:

    dotnetFlags = [ "-p:RuntimeFrameworkVersion={dotnetCorePackags.runtime_8_0}" ];

needs something like:

    dotnetFlags = [ "-p:RuntimeFrameworkVersion=${dotnetRuntime.version}" ];

Hey guys, I'm trying to see if there's a way to improve experience with C# code that has any kind of native dependencies (hi Avalonia).

Would love you to chime in before I jumped to experimentation: https://github.com/NixOS-NET/Nix.NET/issues/1
