Arch Linux

[dotnet-core] 2.1.1+301-1 The dotnet packages are adding their own Runtime Identifiers, RID's are used to identify the operating system that it is running on so that you can target libraries to that platform, the package maintainer has decided to add their own RID which breaks this functionality for arch users.

The intended way the shell scripts should work is that they set __PortableBuild to 1 for unsupported versions, and then change the version to just linux-$arch if the variable is set to 1, however, if you look at the patch that adds arch, it adds an if statement right before it sets the portable build variable.

This is a change that should be made upstream so that having arch as an RID can be translated into linux.
