-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi again,
I've been asking around in the mono-debian channel, here's what came outh > > langdevel::c-sharp only applies to mono-mcs. > > > langdevel::cli = Common Language Infrastructure: "virtual machine that > contains > a class loader, Just-in-time compiler, and a garbage collecting runtime." > (from > the mono FAQ). CLI is also the part of .NET which is standardized under > ECMA-335 > (C# is ECMA-334). langdevel::cli is okay, but problematic because of the "command line interface" polysemy (ftp master gave the mono packagers some problems when they introduced cli-common). langdevel::dotnet-cli is correct as well, but the term .NET has trademark issues, since it's owned by Microsoft. > langdevel::clr = Common Language Runtime, which is (1.)Microsoft's > implementation of CLI, maybe not a good choice or (2.) any implementation of > the > CLI and executes CIL bytecode > langdevel::clr is nearly as correct and does not suffer neither from langdevel::cli's nor from langdevel::dotnet-cli's fault. langdevel::cil is "not quite right", since CIL refers to the bytecode formats the libraries are compiled into (hence the -cil suffix on the mono, Gtk#, Gnome# etc libraries), but the people do not strongly object to it. Personally, I would have liked langdevel::dotnet-cli best, but in the light of the trademark issue, I'd go for langdevel::clr. greetings Torsten - -- Torsten Marek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ID: A244C858 -- FP: 1902 0002 5DFC 856B F146 894C 7CC5 451E A244 C858 Keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDZQH9fMVFHqJEyFgRAufuAJ48it8hfIQ6XjDo5PVFD5NelxYMYwCfcWYI mw/GcByR9/EnNCNt/2nDy4c= =rfOh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Debtags-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debtags-devel
