[Bug 2094272] Re: New upstream microrelease .NET 8.0.112/8.0.12

[Dominik Viererbe]

** Description changed:

  Tracking bug for the January .NET 8 release.
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * This correspond to an upstream microrelease (Microsoft Patch Tuesday
+ microrelease) released on January 14th, 2025.
+ 
+  * It is beneficial for our LTS users to have access to the latest .NET
+ stack.
+ 
+  * This update includes structural changes to the packaging files to allow
+    building all dotnet source packages from a common source. This reduces the
+    maintenance effort and especially the probability of copy & paste mistakes 
+    significantly. The dotnet9 source package already uses this structure with
+    no issue. 
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * The package should build successfully in -proposed (respectively).
+ 
+  * The packages should be installable on jammy, noble, oracular, plucky on
+    amd64, arm64, s390x and ppc64el architectures.
+ 
+  * Autopackage tests should pass.
+ 
+  * The usual manual tests that have been seen in the previous microreleases
+    (see https://github.com/canonical/dotnet-source-build/blob/main/docs/SRUTestPlan.md).
+ 
+    Note: The need for manual testing has been largely reduced, because the
+          autopkgtests improvements far exceeds the coverage provided by the
+          mentioned manual test plans.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * The upstream testing routine is usually satisfactory, but there is
+ always a risk of something breaking.
+ 
+ [Other]
+ 
+ * 8.0.12 is the version number of the .NET Runtime and 8.0.112 is the version
+   number of the .NET SDK. The package version only refers to the SDK version
+   number.
+ 
+ * We are only building the 8.0.1xx feature band, because this is the only
+   feature band that allows building from source. See explanation of feature
+   bands: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/releases-and-support#feature-bands-sdk-only
