Hi, Is someone planning to write a .Net binding to Elektra (1)? Like GConf, Elektra is a place to put configuration data. It is different in that it would be accessible even when you want to run without X and Gtk (and the many other GConf dependencies). I need this for some buildbot testing of

[Mono-dev] Red Hat/Fedora packaging

2009-05-12 Thread Vladimir Giszpenc
The following was taken from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Mono File Locations Mono packages should install assemblies to %{_libdir} rather than /usr/lib or %{_datadir}. In most cases the preference is for %{_libdir}/PACKAGENAME. We use %{_libdir} because we do not consider mono

I never liked my idea so if there is a better way, then by all means lets go with that. A better approach would be to remove the requirement that the .so be in the same directory as the CIL, and instead probe architecture-specific directories for the AOT'd code, e.g.
