Mono

[Paul F. Johnson]

Hi,

In case it was missed, Mono 1.2.1 was released a couple of days back.
I'm building it here so I can update my unofficial FC build site, but
I'd really love to see it in rawhide along with the other updates.

The 1.2.x branch has an absolute tonne of fixes applied and has a huge
speed increase over the 1.1.xx branches - you will hardly believe it
when you see it; it's like what happened with OOo and it's speed hike a
short while back.

Any chances of this happening any time soon? I'm happy if the RH
engineers want to just use mine to save time...

I'm mega busy with FC6 bugs and RHEL5 work, so I don't have much time
for rawhide work atm. Could you perhaps generate patches against the FC6
specfiles, that would make it easier for me to integrate and review your
work.

The src rpms for both libgdiplus and mono are at

http://nodoid.homelinux.org/csharp/dl/mono.spec
http://nodoid.homelinux.org/csharp/dl/libgdiplus.spec

There are quite a few changes in the 1.1.17 and 1.2.2 spec files - and
absolutely masses of changes from the current rawhide/FC6 release and
1.2.2 in the source.

It is probably going to be easier to grab the src rpm, run it through
mock once built and see if that's usable!

I'm currently building the 1.2.2 packages in rawhide. 

There are a couple of bugs in your packages btw. Moving libgdiplus.so to
libgdiplus-devel is gonna break System.Drawing unless you have
libgdiplus-devel installed, as mono dlopens "libgdiplus.so".

You moved a bunch of core lib*.so (i.e. libMonoPosixHelper.so) to
mono-devel that are also opened by name (and they hanve no .so.x
versions). These are needed to run mono apps, and shouldn't be in
mono-devel.

Also, i'm not sure what the libtool changes were used for. They didn't
seem necessary.

I couldn't get it to build the 1.2 branch using the libtool mono
provided.

Since the Mono packages in Rawhide are being updated anyway, could
someone push the new version of f-spot in? It streamlines
tag-selection and seems more responsive.
