ASP.NET Core 1.0.1 not avaliable for Ubuntu/Linux?

Question

The initial ASP.NET Core 1.0 release got an update to .NET Core 1.0.1 which is avaliable on the ASP.NET downloadpage for Windows . It seems bundled with Visual Studio (".NET Core 1.0.1 - VS 2015 Tooling Preview 2"). So I upgraded my ASP.NET Core 1.0 project to 1.0.1 on my Windows 10 development-machine.

As the application runs on Ubuntu, I also want to upgrade my testserver running Ubuntu 16.04 to the latest 1.0.1 version. But I can't find any release for linux. The downloadpage refers to the package dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2-003131 and I couldn't finy any package for 1.0.1 in the repo. Also in the other downloads section are only deb/tar packages for 1.0.1. Only the 1.1 preview, which I don't want to install cause its no final release yet.

If you follow(ed) the instructions on https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#ubuntu you should be able to update via apt . Be aware that there are 2 version numbers. one is the runtime, which is 1.0.1 . The other is the SDK that provides commands like dotnet restore , dotnet build and so on.

The SDK also includes the runtime. The SDK version 1.0.0-preview2-003131 includes the runtime 1.0.1 . The previously released version that had the 1.0.0 runtime had a lower number after the preview2- part..
