I had to patch up a redhat dnx package which supports NETStandard.Library package. It is currently uploaded to dotnet-cli blob storage. This hack will no longer be required when we move to xplat nuget to do 'dotnet restore'. Apart from this there are three issues that are tracked for centos.
- compile-native not yet supported - https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/453
- dnu restore crashes intermittently on centos. I need to investigate this a little bit more and file issues on dnx or coreclr. This will make our CI builds very flaky.
- Dotnet restore does not restore native shims when using “centos.7-x64” - https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/5066
These changes will use docker's new Dockerfile Arguments to
pass the Host User ID to the docker container at build time.
This allows the docker container to set it's internal user
to match that of the host. When using shared volumes between
the host and container, this prevents files created in the
container from being owned by root.
This will solve our problem of needing a cleanup step after
every ubuntu CI run.
These changes fix many of the issues blocking our Ubuntu CI Build.
Notably, it adds a postbuild step to the CI which cleans up file
permissions on files created in Docker. This lets the next job
delete those files successfully. It also accounts for docker instances
which are left running after an aborted job.
