azure-pipelines-tasks: Use .Net Core task V0 does not work anymore
Required Information
Type: Bug
Enter Task Name: DotNetCoreInstallerV0 / Use .Net Core task (V0)
Environment
Azure DevOps Server (On-Premise) Version: 17.143.28912.1
Issue Description
The task does not work since a few weeks. I understand that the task is deprecated (announcement) but because this task is embeded in Azure DevOps Server itselft - it’s not updable with the Marketplace. So, on-premise environment is impacted by this.
Note 1: I have not the last version of Azure DevOps Server, but on-premise environments have some constraints and often not up-to-date.
Note 2: I know I can install manually the .NET Core SDKs on build agents, but it’s a regression for users and not optimal to manage.
Requested: If you can not fix (make available again the releases.json file with updated information), can you provide a method to update the task on Azure DevOps Server without need to do a full update? Release theses tasks on the Marketplace would be nice 😉

Troubleshooting
In the version 0.2.0 of the task, in releasesfetcher.js:
const DotNetCoreReleasesUrl = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/core/master/release-notes/releases.json";
This file is no more available.
Thanks!

@jochenjonc After installing the UseDotNet@2 task, you need to modify your build definition to either use this task or use version 2 of the task if you have modified the task.json as done by @ChristopheLav. Other than that copying the agent directory content is not needed. When the build definition runs on any agent, the task will be downloaded from the on-prem server to the agent and it will run.
Excellent. I have test on a lab to change the guid/name, and the new version was added successfully. So the issue is now closed for me. Thank you so much for your quick assistance! I appreciate.
