Fake 6.0 is not working when SDK 6 and SDK 7 are installed

[Philippe-Laval]

When trying the example in the Fake 6 web site, nothing works

mkdir test_fake cd test_fake dotnet new -i "fake-template::*" dotnet new fake dotnet fake build

There was a problem while setting up the environment: -> Could not find a suitable .NET 6 runtime version matching SDK version: 7.0.306

Seems you should build fake with SDK 7.0

Try Add global.json with { "sdk": { "version": "6.0.0", "rollForward": "latestFeature" } }

in your src code directory

Would you like to add .NET 8 support? I think there is no sens to add 7 but release this library package with 8.0-RC1 version

[Numpsy]

Given that v6 is built just around the .NET 6 machinery, does it make sense to do a maintenance release of 6.x to pick up the various fixes and such that have gone in, and then bump the major version and retarget everything to .NET 8? (Note: I don't know how much code change that would need on top of updating all the libs and such)

[xperiandri]

I had the same idea. v6 servicing release then v8 to support .NET 7 and 8

[Starsek]

Hey, i have the same issue with fake v6 and dotnet 4.8 and 8 installed. please add support for dotnet 8 :)

[xperiandri]

I'm ready to review a PR and merge. But I have not time right now to work on it

[Starsek]

Hello @xperiandri, do you have new infos about the PR to support .NET 4.8 and .NET 8?
