Update CI to run .NET 9 and 10 on alpine

[nicrowe00]

.NET 9 and 10 are now available on alpine and edge.

[omajid]

On Fedora/RHEL, the dotnet-sdk-9.0-aot package brings in AOT dependencies, including clang, openssl-devel, brotli-devel and others. This doesn't happen on Alpine. The users need to install them manually (apk add clang openssl-dev zlib-dev brotli-dev).

@ayakael is this intentional?

If this is intentional, we can add these packages to the README as dependencies for testing on alpine.

Hey, @ayakael any thoughts?

Hi! Thanks for pinging again, this is not intentional! I'll add these dependencies to AOT subpackage and backport to 3.22.

MR:

• [edge] https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/93155
• [3.22-stable] https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/93154

dotnet10 is also set for inclusion with v3.23. (MR: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/92484)

[ayakael]

The MR adding those dependencies just got merged. dotnet10 package will also be released with v3.23 in a few weeks.

Thanks!

Hey @ayakael do you have the cycles to investigate the test failures and propose fixes for this PR? These failing legs in our CI are becoming concerning and we are wondering if dropping alpine from our matrix would be easier for everyone.

[ayakael]

Thanks for pinging me! I maintain the dotnet package as a volunteer so can't be as proactive as I'd like to be. I'll take a look at these failures and come up with proposals.

For all version, lttng can be disabled:

On dotnet10, we use bundled libunwind since it now seems broken on all arches instead of just on arm:

Bash completions on dotnet10 is a packaging bug, MR is open to address it: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/94577

publish-aspnet-selfcontained tends to be unstable, rerunning test usually does the trick.

I'll look into non-portale-rid shortly, it looks it's expecting something different on edge.

[ayakael]

The alpine:edge currently in use is old (from january 2025, before /etc/os-release shows alpine 3.23), either cache should be invalidated or an upgrade step should be added for alpine. This causes the computed os Rid to not match the packaged Rid:

MR on Alpine is merged for latest and edge, implemented fixes for testsuite here: #403. Don't hesitate to flag other issues for me to fix. Every passes over there.

Thanks!
