Dear Maintainer,
I noticed that Microsoft's "dotnet-runtime" package for Debian
configures the system so that mono will be run automatically when a
dotnet .EXE file is executed. On the other hand the official Debian
package, "mono-runtime", does not do that. There should be
instructions for how to enable it should one wish to do so.
I have written up sample instructions to include in the
/usr/share/doc/mono-runtime/README.Debian file.
* Configure binfmt_misc if you want mono programs to be executable
or see error messages like:
HelloWorld.exe: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
Create a file called /etc/binfmt.d/mono.conf containing this line:
:CLR:M::MZ::/usr/bin/mono:
and run `systemctl restart systemd-binfmt`.
That should be enough to help most folks.
