What package are you using on centos? The global tool? Tar.gz?

[N0K0]

Thanks for quick feedback,
Been using the Tar.gz files from the release page.

If there is any other packages i would happily try them :)

[arturcic]

I noticed that as well, I'll have to check. For now if you are ok you can use the global tool https://www.nuget.org/packages/GitVersion.Tool/ but you will need the dotnet core version 3.1 installed

[N0K0]

Will give it an try! Just have to setup some infrastructure to deal with MS RPMs and make dotnet tool work behind my security controls.

(Its currenclty hanging at "Restoring packages for .NETCoreApp,Version=v3.1... (TaskId:33)" )

I have same problem on debian 9 in docker. I have to downgrade to version 5.0.1 to make it work.

[atrauzzi]

Hmm, running on Ubuntu 19.10 and .net Core 3.1. Used dotnet tool install --global GitVersion.Tool but can't seem to find a version that works.

[arturcic]

Ubuntu 19.10 is not supported by LibGit2Sharp, the one we use, so sorry, it's an issue for LibGit2Sharp

[atrauzzi]

Gotcha, thank you. Would you happen to know of or be able to suggest any path forward?

[arturcic]

Ubuntu 18.04 is supported, that one option, second option is to use the docker image that has gitversion embedded https://hub.docker.com/r/gittools/gitversion

[atrauzzi]

kk, thanks!

Do you know if they're planning on resolving this for 20.04? Anywhere I can pick up the thread with them?

[arturcic]

Check this one https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/issues/1725
