dotnet-ef 8.0.1 fails to work on .NET 8.0.0

[tmds]

The dotnet-ef package that is published for 8.0.1 requires the runtime version to be at least 8.0.1.

On some environments, like distros where .NET is source-built, it may take some days(/weeks) for that runtime version to become available.

This makes the dotnet install -g dotnet-ef command work, but subsequently invoking dotnet ef fail (due to the runtime version). The user can work around by explicitly specify the older version that matches the runtime version.

Could we relax the required runtime version for the global tools that are shipped in tandem with .NET through NuGet to not depend on a particular patch version?

cc @ajcvickers this has come up a few times since the 8.0.1 release (see #38114 for another instance).

This is possibly something we could detect at tool-install time now too, now that we are no longer using the implicit NuGet Restore to acquire tools.

@baronfel This looks like dotnet/efcore#32869, which is already approved for 8.0.3.

Great! I'll close this then.

Thanks for the quick update @ajcvickers!
