Dependencies on .NET 5.0
Arithmeticus opened this issue · comments
The dependency upon System.ComponentModel.Annotations is itself dependent upon .NET frameworks 5.0 and earlier. As a result a C# solution I'm writing that is dependent upon McMaster.Extensions.CommandLineUtils does not pass security checks in our business unit, which requires no pre-.NET 7.0 dependencies. Which is a shame, because I've gotten tremendous mileage from the package. Is there any way to circumvent these dependencies?
I see that 4.1.1 explicitly attempts to apply to .NET 7.0, but in Visual Studio 2022, the NuGet package manager invokes transitive package System.ComponentModel.Annotations 5.0.0.

It may be that this is not considered a bug, but rather a nontrivial feature request. But I thought it worthwhile trying, since the alternative means dropping the McMaster package and developing my own alternative from scratch.
It may be time to cut a new version of this library which drops outdated dependencies. .NET has evolved quite a bit since this code was originally written.
