Mono ships 2 different versions of all base-class-libraries, one for 1.0 and one for 2.0, thats nothing Debian nor Ubuntu "invented". > then providing a gmcs (for .Net 1.x programs) and gmcs2 > (for .Net 2.x programs), but only one 'mono' runtime executable. There is no gmcs in Debian neither Ubuntu. There is mcs for C# 1.0 and gmcs for C# 2.0, but again thats made by Mono. > Unfortunately, libraries linked with gmcs would crash with gmcs2. Not sure what you exactly mean, libraries that reference mscorlib 1.0 (compiled with mcs) can be used with gmcs. > > I don't know how this corresponds with "official" mono development, > but I'd point out that at least for some people, there's already a > mono 2, if gmcs2 is any indication.

Debian and Ubuntu ships Mono without modifications (maybe some patches for debian integration or bugfixes takes from SVN), all the different versions (1.0 vs 2.0) comes from Mono, as Mono provides a CLI 1.0/1.1 and 2.0 runtime. -- Regards, Mirco 'meebey' Bauer PGP-Key ID: 0xEEF946C8 FOSS Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.meebey.net/ PEAR Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pear.php.net/ Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org/
