In the meantime .NET Core 2.0: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/08/14/announcing-net-core-2-0/ and it is a requirement for powershell 6.0: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/powershell/2018/01/10/powershell-core-6-0-generally-available-ga-and-supported/
Based on the suggestions for package naming: https://github.com/dotnet/docs/blob/master/docs/core/build/distribution-packaging.md it looks like the two ITPs should probably be merged into one named "dotnet". Building from source is supported by upstream: https://github.com/dotnet/docs/blob/master/docs/core/build/index.md but one issue to solve before this can be packaged is that currently the build script downloads stuff from the network: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/9696 Paolo
