Hi,
I'd like to see the contents of the package moved around so that when I install something like banshee I don't need to install mono-devel and have it pull in all the dev packages that I don't need on a netbook that I never use for development.
Nope - the devel packages are there for a reason. I'll certainly look to see if the contents can't be streamlined though.
Yes, I agree the devel packages are there for a reason: development. You shouldn't need to install them for say "using an audio player" and hence as such mono-core should not depend on mono-devel. I filed a bug [1] about it but you've not commented on it as yet hence my mention of it here.
