I'd prefer not to use that script at all; I was just pointing out that mono 2.10.8 seems to have no dependencies beyond what already exists in the RHEL / CentOS 6 yum repositories.
So what you are offering, can't quite apply generally to the usual RHEL systems.
This has the problem that if you go that way, some RHEL packages will have problem upgrading through the official channels afterwards. I have been there before, though the difference between the fedora core releases is much less compared to the difference between RHEL and fc18/rawhide.

So no script, back to using RPM's from a yum repo, didn't this all work just as recently as mono 2.10.2 using the repository provided by Novell?
That repo is gone for obvious reasons, but I don't see why not to stand up another similar repository with 2.10.x for those that need a recent mono build on their RHEL / CentOS systems. Are you saying this can't be done or would otherwise be a bad idea for creating conflicts?
