dependencies to development packages
by Christian Krause 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Hi, Recently I've tried to use "rpmdev-rmdevelrpms" and I've stumbled over a strange dependency chain regarding some mono packages. Installing banshee requires eventually glib2-devel and so "rpmdev-rmdevelrpms" won't work since it can't remove glib2-devel without uninstalling banshee, too. The dependency chain is in F10: banshee -> boo -> nant -> mono-sharpcvslib -> mono-nunit-> glib2-devel and in rawhide: banshee -> mono-nunit -> glib2-devel and banshee -> nant and banshee -> boo -> nant Since in general a normal (user-)programs should not pull in any development packages for a couple of good reasons I'd like to bring this topic to your attention. ;) What do you think - does it make sense to spend some effort into trying to avoid these problems? If yes, what could be done with the problem above? I would assume since banshee needs boo for the scripting interface, that boo should not depend itself on nant... ( and in rawhide banshee should neither depend on nant nor mono-nunit, too ). Best regards, Christian

Mono 2.6
by Paul F. Johnson 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Hi, Just to clarify. 2.6 will be in rawhide, I'm not moving it to F12 for a while as it's quite a jump up from the 2.4 branch. Building 2.6 requires quite a lot of fixes to the current patches as they just don't work anymore (in some cases). It's due for being out on the 24th and I'm aiming to have it in the repos on the 25th. TTFN Paul -- Sie können mich aufreizen und wirklich heiß machen!

Fwd: Mono-2.6 - heads up
by Michel Alexandre Salim 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Paul sent this to the main development list without Cc:ing fedora-mono, so here it is. This update will hopefully *not* land -- it's simply too late, and too disruptive, for F-12, without clear advantages. I suggested to Paul to branch mono for F-12 early instead, after which he can land dangerous changes in -devel. If this happens, and you track Mono's CVS entries, then be sure to switch to monitoring F-12 rather than devel. Paul, are you sure you don't want to add yourself to the fedora-mono list? -- Michel ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Paul <paul(a)all-the-johnsons.co.uk> Date: Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 6:10 AM Subject: Mono-2.6 - heads up To: Fedora-devel <fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com> Hi Folks, Just spotted on the mono forums that mono-2.6 is being branched on Monday which means that it (should) be in the Rawhide repos Tuesday. As it stands, 2.6 is a world of difference to 2.4.2.3 in terms of speed and reliability. I've not encountered any big problems with code compiled under previous versions of Mono not running under the 2.6 svn branch yet, so it should be good and smooth. I would recommend though that maintainers of applications reliant on mono recompile them against 2.6 when it hits rawhide just to be safe.

boo 0.9.2 update
by Paul Lange 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

hey, recently I updated boo in rawhide to the new upstream version 0.9.2. Now there are many "Missing Dependency" errors in rawhide like this: Missing Dependency: mono (Boo.Lang) = 2.0.9.1 is needed by package banshee... Missing Dependency: mono (Boo.Lang.Compiler) = 2.0.9.1 is needed by package banshee... I don't have an idea on how to resolve them. Any hints? Thanks, Paul

Review request: chronojump
by Ismael Olea 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Maybe the first Mono sporting app :-) ChronoJump is an open hardware, free software, multiplatform complete system for measurement, management and statistics of sport short-time tests. Chronojump uses a contact platform and/or photocells, and also a chronometer printed circuit designed ad-hoc in order to obtain precise and trustworthy measurements. Chronojump is used by trainers, teachers and students. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524707 Reviewers are welcome :-) -- A.

Low-hanging fruit for F-12: banishing mono-nunit22
by Michel Alexandre Salim 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Hello all, I noticed yesterday while polishing up gdata-sharp for review that, after the fixes in the latest Rawhide mono packages, it was no longer necessary to use mono-nunit22; the unit tests compile just fine against mono-nunit. There are several packages that are still depending, directly or indirectly, on mono-nunit22, and if we could work through them in time for the beta release, that would be super! $ repoquery --alldeps --whatrequires mono-nunit22 banshee-0:1.5.1-0.2.git20090831.fc12.i686 mono-sharpcvslib-0:0.35-11.fc12.x86_64 mono-nunit22-devel-1:2.2.10-10.fc12.i686 banshee-0:1.5.1-0.2.git20090831.fc12.x86_64 nant-1:0.85-30.fc12.x86_64 mono-nunit-0:2.4.2.3-2.fc12.x86_64 monodevelop-0:2.0-5.fc12.x86_64 mono-nunit22-1:2.2.10-10.fc12.x86_64 mono-nunit22-devel-1:2.2.10-10.fc12.x86_64 The banshee dependency is through banshee --> boo --> nant. nant BRs nunit22 directly, and also inherits the dependency through its requirement on mono-sharpcvslib. How repoquery computed that mono-nunit depends on mono-nunit22 is rather odd. Could anyone shed a light on this? Regards, -- Michel Alexandre Salim
