[jira] Commented: (THRIFT-509) C# Library Does Not Provide Strong Name

["Jeff Brown (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-509?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12795244#action_12795244 ] 

Jeff Brown commented on THRIFT-509:
-----------------------------------

I was thinking of submitting a patch for this myself and including a default .snk out of the box.  Creating a strong-signed assembly is very useful for corporate clients and others downstream who wish to sign their own modules.  Given that Thrift is OSS, clients can always choose to recompile the library with their own custom key if the provided well-known key isn't up to their standards.

> I'm in the process of having a Thrift package reviewed for Fedora. Unfortunately the C# library is failing to register because it thinks Thrift.dll doesn't provide a "strong name".
> If this is something that could be added to the library it would be very much appreciated.
> Error:
> DEBUG: + gacutil -i lib/csharp/Thrift.dll -f -package Thrift -root /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/thrift-0.0-0.fc10.20090501svn770888.i386/usr/lib
> DEBUG: Failure adding assembly lib/csharp/Thrift.dll to the cache: Attempt to install an assembly without a strong name
> Package Review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498873
> P.S. If I'm being stupid and this is something which I need to address in the build process please let me know.
