Hi, Off subject to your request but sharing that I went through similar considerations with CentOS. I ended up just building the source with very few problems. Most issues were figuring out how to reference and co-exist with pre-installed libraries. I think I ended up using a few options with ./configure. If go strictly using rpm tools (either mono or dependencies), I recall some interplay between rpm defaults and yum that seems a bit fuzzy (and possibly inconsistent) to me as a newbie. Back on topic, Centos yum support would be great.

I selected mono over other platforms like java for my department at work for several reasons. Like most Open Source projects, I noticed a long term release and a current-stable release. The 2.6.7 release seems rather dated now that I read the 2.8 tree has furthered technology and optimizations in it. Does anyone "formally" keep a CentOS 5 compiled-rpm repo for the 2.8 branch? I know it wouldn't be a supported build, or maybe they can point me to a CentOS 5 friendly spec file I can use directly with the source. I read that 3.0 is the next long term release. Will CentOS 5/6 get the an officially supported 3.0 build? I am curious to know however, I know this is a Novell project, and Novell owns SuSE, but RHEL/CentOS is a very large distro, I would think it would also be supported by the latest stable releases? Please forgive my noobieness. I love Mono, and am excited to be working with it. I appreciate your help and thoughts on these matters. -- View this message in context: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Mono-2-8-2-for-CentOS-5-tp3313396p3313396. html Sent from the Mono - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
