Backport .NET 8 to jammy

[Dominik Viererbe]

[Impact]

As part of the Ubuntu LTS startegy we want to backport .NET 8 to jammy from mantic.

This is a tracking bug.

[Test Case]

Checking that dotnet8 is usable in jammy.

[Regression Potential]

None, new package.

[Dominik Viererbe (dviererbe)]

All package builds succeeded and initial testing resulted in expected behavior. Review is needed.

Hello Dominik, or anyone else affected,

Accepted dotnet8 into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dotnet8/8.0.100-8.0.0-0ubuntu1~22.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Added block-proposed-jammy as the next security update (8.0.2) will release on February 13th. Ian will use the build in proposed to build 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 in a security PPA. Therefore 8.0.2 will be the GA of dotnet8 on jammy.

[Ubuntu SRU Bot (ubuntu-sru-bot)]

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted dotnet8 (8.0.100-8.0.0-0ubuntu1~22.04.1) for jammy have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

dotnet6/6.0.126-0ubuntu1~22.04.1 (amd64, arm64)

Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1].
