mono-ndoc
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
With the dropping of .NET 1.1 support in mono-2.8, mono-ndoc will now no
longer compile (there is very little support for .NET 2.0 in it anyway).
It's dead in the water. The original author has said he no longer wishes
to maintain the package.
I'm not sure what actually depends on mono-ndoc, so it may not be that
big a problem. It will though need to be removed from rawhide - how is
this done?
log4net may also be on its way out too...
TTFN

Nant and boo in rawhide + rebuilds
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Okay, mono-2.8 has now hit rawhide and there will be quite a lot that
will need rebuilding. Most of the time it will be just a case of pushing
a rebuild, but some packages will need attention (especially if they
rely on .NET-1.1 code - it has gone in 2.8)
I've pushed a pile of things, but anything relying on Nant or boo will
need to wait a short while. Problem is that for Nant and boo, the
current versions in rawhide will not just rebuild so will need updating.
While I have builds here, there is a problem with nant which needs
fixing (I'm toying with the fixes here).
Any problems with rebuilds, feel free to push them this way.
TTFN

Package gio-sharp - sponsorship request
by Lukas Zapletal
Hello,
I have created my very first Fedora package. Its a mono library binding. I would like to submit also program called Docky which makes use of this library later on.
The package passed formal review by Paul Lange today and its pending sponsorship. I would like to ask potential sponsors from Mono SIG as I would like to join the group and submit more Mono and Vala related packages.
The gio-sharp package is submitted under https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635451
Thank you for any comments, suggestions and sponsorship.

Mono 2.8 now built... but...
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I've finally managed to get mono-2.8 to build and it wasn't easy. A
tonne of things have changed, the biggest is that .NET 1.1 has gone.
Completely gone. 'tis no more!
If you have anything reliant on .NET 1.1, you will need to rebuild. I've
uploaded the source rpms to
http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/mono/libgdiplus-2.8-1.fc15.src.rpm
http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/mono/mono-2.8-1.fc15.src.rpm
They build fine on my x86 box, YRMV, but let me know of any build
failures.
I've not put it into rawhide yet as I'd rather people build first then
we can do a mass update rather than have a pile of broken deps.
I've not built any of the other parts of mono yet, they'll come
today/tomorrow.
Changes...
- Bump to preview 8 of 2.8 release
- Remove .NET 1.1 code
- Update ppc threading patch
- Update patch1 and 5 and rename
- Combine patches 2 and 7 (why two libdir patches?)
- Remove jay from the install step
- Realise that spelling is quite imporgtint...
- Big changes to the spec file to bring it into line with Novell's fixes
- New mvc, mvc-devel and winfx subpackages
- Some parts of the mono-web subpackage moved to mvc
- Fix the macro which looked for 1.0 things
- Remove and obsoletes mono-jscript
- Remove and obsolete data-sybase and data-firebird
- Modify macros to make sense now the 1.0 stuff has gone
- Extend the 4.0 subpackage to include lots of new stuff
If you have anything reliant on mono-jscript, mono-data-sybase and
mono-data-firebird, they're gone.
Please try and build, let me know of any problems though.
