Hi Stephen, I apologize, I lacked clarity in my previous post.
The Ubuntu issue mentioned by Daniel is a real problem, we're always versions behind and it's frustrating. In light of the recent changes, it is worth considering if an opportunity existed to address some of these issues. It would be great to have the ability to install the latest Mono across multiple platforms, ie. Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Windows, etc. Bringing Mono up to date in Ubuntu would be awesome, for Mono and for Ubuntu. >From the feedback to Daniel's initial post, it has been made manifest to me that there is a lot more work that goes into the packaging of Mono than I realized, and there are other issues such as distribution policies, application installation base compatibilities, etc. I am very grateful to you and everybody else who makes Mono available to us. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Shaw Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2011 12:34 AM To: Daniel Hughes Cc: mono-list Subject: Re: [Mono-list] ubuntu support On Mon, May 16, 2011 at 22:54, Daniel Hughes <[email protected]> wrote: > How many of the mono team will want to continue to use an operation system > from the company which has treated them so badly? Just to clarify, it wasn't openSUSE or SUSE that laid off the mono team. And to be technical, it wasn't Novell either. In case you missed it, Attachemate recently bought Novell, split SUSE off and canned the mono team. Since you mention Attachemate one would have to ask if your are just trolling at this point?
