Current evaluation

Snapcraft dotnet plugin fails to parse .NET runtime versions above 2.1.4 due to upstream releases.json format change. Filed against snapcraft 2.43.1 on Ubuntu 16.04; both EOL. No maintainer interaction in 7+ years.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue is 7+ years old with zero maintainer interaction, filed against snapcraft 2.43.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 — both long since EOL. The .NET 2.2 runtime is also EOL (August 2019). The snapcraft codebase has been completely rewritten since (current layout shows a modern parts/extensions structure), making the original releases.json parsing bug almost certainly no longer reproducible.

Issue body

I can't build my snap when changing dotnet-runtime-version above 2.1.4. Looking at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/core/master/release-notes/releases.json which seems to be what snapcraft is using the release exists but the format in the package.json changed on versions above 2.1.4. When running above 2.1.4 I get the following error: Failed to prepare the .NET SDK: An error occurred while fetching the version details for '2.2.3'. Check that the version is correct. I am building on Ubuntu core 16.04, snapcraft, version 2.43.1
