I've made a patch which applies for 4.4.0.122 (which is the version I'm using with the meta-mono layer for Yocto).
I assume that for best results, I should apply it to the latest of some branch in the git repository. What branch(es) have active development, and are patches accepted for? I could apply it to the latest mono-4.4.0-branch, or some other?

I need to upgrade to Mono 4.4.0 to fix another issue I reported (SMTP with SSL/TLS and intermediate certificates). I see that Mono 4.4.0 is susceptible to timers failing when system time changes. But the patch I was using for Mono 4.2.1 doesn't apply for Mono 4.4.0. So I'll have to rework the patch. I can provide an updated patch when I've figured it out. Would a patch be likely to be accepted for the mainline Mono code? -- Craig McQueen _______________________________________________ Mono-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dot.net/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
