upgrading strategy for Mono across the Fedora versions

[Timotheus Pokorra]

Hello Claudio, and all,

I saw you are working on the 4.2 Mono packages now that Xamarin have
declared them stable.
Thanks for working on this!

I agree that Rawhide should get the mono 4.2 package, but I am not
sure if we should push mono 4.2 to Fedora 23 as well?
The release notes mention that quite a lot of code was changed:
http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/releases/4.2.1/

Would it be better to only make such big changes for Rawhide, and 4.2
comes in the next Fedora version, 24?

What do you think, and what do other people on the Mono SIG think?

All the best,
  Timotheus

My bet is to push Mono 4.2 just at Rawhide and do QA on all Mono packaged
apps to ensure they work as expected.

We could propose a new change for f24 to have mono 4.2
My be Olea is right.
For the moment I only try build. But not push the update for f23.

Build on arm fail but I don't figure out why or how to patch.

Things like this is why big upgrades should be done in Rawhide.

Did you asked or reported the mono people ?

also the Fedora ARM team is usually interested and ready to help

I think you
should do a scratch build instead.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_the_Koji_build_system#Scratch_Builds
If the build for rawhide did not fail, I think mono 4.2 would have
automatically been integrated in Rawhide.

You committed the 4.2 change for f23 to git, which confused me.
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mono.git/log/?h=f23
That was probably by accident. Can you please revert that, or set it
back to 4.0.5?

To test a build, you can do a scratch build on Koji, without committing:

rpmbuild -bs foo.spec
koji build --scratch f23 foo.srpm
