Description lupus 2023-09-19 14:31:37 UTC

`eselect dotnet set X` does not set env variable `DOTNET_ROOT`.
When DOTNET_ROOT is not set, `dotnet tools` complains about missing a runtime

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. eselect dotnet set X
2. dotnet tool update -g microsoft.sqlpackage
3. sqlpackage
Actual Results:  
You must install .NET to run this application.

App: /home/user/.dotnet/tools/sqlpackage
Architecture: x64
App host version: 7.0.11
.NET location: Not found

Download the .NET runtime:
https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?missing_runtime=true&arch=x64&rid=gentoo.2.14-x64&apphost_version=7.0.11

Expected Results:  
SqlPackage: Command-line tool for creating and deploying SQL Server databases and DACPAC packages. (162.0.52.1)

I discussed this on #gentoo IRC with xgqt.
The day after the introduction of app-eselect/eselect-dotnet, I had no idea on how to use the dotnet tools anymore, but we came up with a few tricks.

`dotnet-bin-6.0 exec ~/.dotnet/tools/.store/microsoft.sqlpackage/162.0.52/microsoft.sqlpackage/162.0.52/tools/net6.0/any/sqlpackage.dll`
and
`DOTNET_ROOT=/opt/dotnet-sdk-bin-6.0 sqlpackage`

From what I understood, it is the intended behaviour that eselect-dotnet does not set DOTNET_ROOT, but I wish it did, and I can't come up with a scenario where this will break something.
