Hello Andrés, >> Here are the links: >> http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:tpokorra:mono&package=monodevelop-opt >> http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:tpokorra:mono&package=mono-opt > > Do your packages install somewhere below /opt ?

The problem is that I don't want to get into conflict with the mono packages provided by the distribution. Software might depend on an older version of Mono, or is certified for a specific version of Mono. I chose /opt because I consider my packages a parallel mono installation.
Perhaps I should clarify that my target audience are mainly developers, who want to develop with the latest version of MonoDevelop, or run their own software with the latest version of Mono. >> Alternatively, for just Ubuntu builds, there is the work by Eberhard: >> https://launchpad.net/~ermshiperete/+archive/monodevelop > > WRT Ubuntu/Debian builds, I would rather recommend the PPAs and official > repositories of the official mono/monobased-apps packagers: directhex > and meebey. Good to know! Are these the correct links? https://launchpad.net/~directhex/+archive/monoxide and http://debian.meebey.net/experimental/ I guess for official packages for a distribution, things need to be very clean and follow many rules, and it takes more time to create a proper package. The advantage of an opt package installed in a parallel environment is that it just needs to work? But I might be wrong with that opinion... Just to make it clear, I don't mind who provides uptodate packages, it is just important to me that they are made available to people by linking from the official website to it. Even if it has a big "experimental" warning on it... All the best, Timotheus _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
