That could also be considered a "feature" :) The installer does not require root access to install, allows multiple simultaneous installations, the same binary can work across multiple distributions. We do not intend to replace compiling from source or rpm for those users that feel comfortable with it, but offer an alternative to those that for whatever reason have trouble getting Mono up and running. > Maybe > something that could be added to BitRock though. We could add that functionality, but I need to understand better what you are looking for, so we can look for ways to implement that functionality registering with the RPM database after installation? (which problem would that solve?) detecting any external dependencies? since it is mostly self contained, right now this would be gtk and mozilla for monodevelop.
