debian auto-updating package?

See original GitHub issue

@Spongman commented on Fri Dec 08 2017

currently the debian packages are version-specific.

for example, the current package is dotnet-sdk-2.0.2. this package will not upgrade automatically when a new version comes out.

can we get a set of virtual packages doetnet-sdk , dotnet-sdk-x, and dotnet-sdk-x.y that automatically update? (and similar for the runtimes?)

for example, there’s only one openjdk-8-jdk package. it installs the latest SDK, and it updates automatically. all packages that follow SemVer correctly can behave in this way without breaking existing clients.

EDIT: oh look at that, the docs i was looking at (https://www.microsoft.com/net/learn/get-started/linuxdebian) are out of date. the latest package is actually dotnet-sdk-2.0.3. i think this illustrates perfectly the need for non-version-specific packages.

As long as you’re following SemVer correctly (specifically: point releases are backwardly compatible) then SxS should not be necessary.

See https://github.com/dotnet/docs/pull/4538 for the updated package design that should make this much better. It incorporates the design of (auto-updating) RHEL/Fedora (copr) packages.
