Interesting, because when I try to build and run a dotnet project (targeting net5.0) with this package it complains about no matching runtime being found; when I use the non-preview dotnet package (project targeting netcoreapp3.1) it works fine as expected. Any idea why?

Your issue cannot come from that, because the binaries are prebuilt, and those version numbers (which are correct, build numbers are almost always mismatched between SDK and Runtime, and I've even seen a mismatched Runtime and Host version once).

You can check the version numbers at https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0 .

Plus, those fields are only used for packaging purpose, and are used in patch names in the binary distribution from Microsoft, so if I change them, you'll get empty packages.

It looks like the runtime and sdk versions are mismatched:

pkgver=5.0.0+100+rc.2.20479.15 _hostver=5.0.0-rc.2.20475.5 _runtimever=5.0.0-rc.2.20475.5 _sdkver=5.0.100-rc.2.20479.15

This causes the SDK to register as 5.0.0+100+rc.2.20479.15, and the runtime as 5.0.0-rc.2.20475.5, despite using 5.0.100-rc.2.20479.15 for all the source packages. When trying to run an application, dotnet complains about not being able to find a matching runtime, and I traced it down to this mismatch. Could you update the hostver and runtimever to match the pkgver and sdkver, which is also the same as the version in the sources?

@ofrades that's a community repo package (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/netstandard-targeting-pack/).

3.1.8 has been released 10 days ago, sync your repos and retry ;)

Getting errors retrieving files from mirrors:

:: Retrieving packages... error: failed retrieving file 'netstandard-targeting-pack-3.1.7.sdk107-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from . . .

@LiteracyFanatic I already had it fixed, but forgot to push. It's solved with the -3 version! Thanks :)

The package fails to install with the following error message:

yay -S dotnet-sdk-preview
 -> Could not find all required packages:
    dotnet-sdk=3.1 (Wanted by: dotnet-sdk-preview)

It seems to be caused by a minor typo which is resolved by this patch.

The most recent commit message says that the change was intended to allow a side-by-side installation with the 3.1 SDK. That's definitely a good thing, but does this package really need to depend on the the 3.1 SDK? Isn't changing from /opt/ to /usr/share/ enough to make a side-by-side installation with dotnet-sdk work?

Could you please update this to .NET 5 Preview 4? Thanks a bunch!

This should be marked as conflicting with community/dotnet-sdk-bin. Easier to answer yes to yay's request to remove it instead of deleting it manually after installation fails.

I report that the search function of AUR seems to miss this package.

Tested with the current versions of both Firefox and Falkon.

The URL/page itself is obviously working.
