Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, for example, is on 3.2.8. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mono&searchon=names&suite=trusty§ion=all But it’s also extremely easy to add the mono-project repos and install very new packages: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/#debian-ubuntu-and-derivatives That ^ is what improved greatly in recent months, and spinning up a VM and getting mono installed from these repos is really, really easy. Like this in a bootstrapping script: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install mono-complete And then to get nuget working like it does on Windows so you can pull dependencies after deploying: wget http://nuget.org/nuget.exe mozroots --import --sync yes | certmgr -ssl https://nuget.org/ Getting nginx working with mono is a little more involved, and it would be great if it were just one more package. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
