Can we please finally remove Npgsql? It's been reported: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=650180 https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23119
The Npgsql included in mono is EXTREMELY ancient and from what I gather useless for most purposes. As far as I can tell, the version included in mono is Ngpsql 1.x, however due to mono versioning the Npgsql assembly will be versioned as 2.x (when I reported it some years ago, maybe it's even 3.x or 4.x now). So mono basically lies about what Npgsql version it is, which adds enormously to the confusion. There is a bunch of open bugs in this old version: https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=npgsql /Oskar 2014-11-27 17:01 GMT+01:00 Alexander Köplinger <alex.koeplin...@outlook.com> : > Judging from the recent version bump in git to 3.99 it looks like the next > release after 3.12 will be Mono 4.0. > > As this is a major release it'll allow us to remove some cruft that is no > longer needed, so I thought I'd start a list of things I'd like to see > removed: > > * net2.0/4.0 profiles -> this is already in progress > * gmcs/dmcs -> they just redirect to mcs now and without the 2.0 > etc profiles it doesn't make sense to still have them > * EntityFramework -> apart from the fact that we ship a horribly outdated > version right now, I see no reason to include this hefty 5+MB DLL in Mono > given that EF is open-source and available on NuGet > * aspnetwebstack (i.e. MVC+WebApi) -> same reasons as for EF, open-source > and on NuGet, should be used from there > * Rx -> I'm not really familiar with this one, but I think it's also on > NuGet+open source > > I'd love to hear your comments/thoughts on this :) > > -- Alex > > _______________________________________________ > Mono-devel-list mailing list > Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com > http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list > >
