Hi Charlie, Ahh, I get your point, that is a visible problem. Since I'm just a volunteer to upgrade the version here, I am not at the position to decide what we should include in our package. nunit-console shell script is not actually used to build mono and mcs (instead we use mono-wrapper and nunit-console.exe directly) and this script can be removed if we just think about mono and mcs. When it comes to other modules, for example we use nunit-console directly in Olive. So I assume we still sort of need a shell script.
I assume we could rename nunit-console to mono-nunit-console or whatever, to explicitly indicate that it is for mono internals. Is this the only concern, or is it just an example? :) Atsushi Eno Charlie Poole wrote: > Hi Atsushi, > >>> If you want to attract folks to Mono, then I think it's >> important not >>> to confuse them. :-) >> If there's reasonable reason people get confused because of >> my interpretation or effort on upgrading nunit version, then >> I feel sorry ;) > > Even though this thread started as a result of your upgrade, > I don't think the upgrade causes the confusion.
