weird version of downloaded runtime when building aspnet core repo

[chrisnas]

I've cloned the aspnetcore repo

and tried to rebuild it on Windows with build.cmd

During the .NET Core runtime installation process, I see preview8 versions downloaded while the preview 7 is not even available yet

• SDK: 3.0.100-preview6-012264
• runtime: 3.0.0-preview8-27914-06

@karelz mentioned that I should create an issue in the corefx repo with the "wtgobde" tag
I hope this helps

During the .NET Core runtime installation process, I see preview8 versions downloaded while the preview 7 is not even available yet

The master branch is already on "preview 8" level because the code has forked into the release/3.0 branch. The release/3.0 branch is at "preview 7" level. We expect .NET Core 3.0 Preview 7 to formally release to the public soon.

@wtgodbe @ViktorHofer @safern can you please take a look?

[ViktorHofer]

What's the issue here? I can't see any errors in the log.

This looks fine to me. As David said, our dev branches pull builds based on other repo's dev branches, which are generally newer than what's been released.

When switching to release/3.0-preview7 branch, the preview7 version of the runtime is downloaded
Got it.
