Hi, So Fedora doesn't do noarch packages? No, we do have noarch packages. Non-architecture specific things (like fonts and config scripts) go in them. What Geoff was getting at is bi-arch installations. In Debian and in openSUSE we can install both architectures at once. Packages that

Hi, I will try to take up this particular part of the discussion over in Fedora land. Something needs to be done better here but we need buy-in from Fedora or we will just piss them off. This list is not the place for a dispute with Fedora. I totally agree, however this really isn't a

Hi, For Fedora/RedHat users, the rule for 64 bit users is that code goes in /usr/lib64 rather than /usr/lib. Mono has quite a few packages which proports to move code to the correct libdir, but has things hardcoded as $(prefix)/lib rather than $(libdir) within config (and even source)

Hi, There is a good reason. A very good reason. It makes the MD development independent of the mono development. Also, this particular complaint is rather out of date. MD has built Cecil from bundled sources since *last October* (I replaced most of our bundled binaries to make things

Hi there, I think we can commit to keep builds for - Solaris x86 - Solaris SPARC - Mac PPC (And hopefully soon HP-UX, but not yet). But, we'd need some help starting up since I expect some problems building in Solaris. pablo www.plasticscm.com Andrew Jorgensen escribió: The Mono Team

We'll build for Mac OS X on PPC and x86 still but we would appreciate help with Solaris. What I'm trying to do for solaris is start maintaining the packages on Blastwave.org. They have a build infrastructure and lots of packagers to help us with packaging and build difficulties. Go to

A new mailing list has been created for mono packagers: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-packagers-list Hopefully we can use this to coordinate our efforts better and discuss issues we face as packagers. If you maintain (or will soon maintain) a downstream package of mono please
