libgdiplus 2.6.7 in F13 - any objections?
by Christian Krause 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hi, In order to fix a security problem in libgdiplus ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626821 ) it is necessary to push out an update in F13. Since F13 will be updated sooner or later to mono 2.6.7 as well, I was wondering whether it would be possible to push out libgdiplus 2.6.7 (with the security fix) solely first and leave the rest of the mono stack at 2.6.4 for now. I've roughly checked the commit logs for libgdiplus and it really doesn't look like that there were any incompatible (API) changes. IMHO only programs using WinForms are actually using libgdiplus and a short test with some example programs did not reveal any issue of using libgdiplus-2.6.7 with mono 2.6.4. Any comments or ideas whether this is possible? ;-) Thanks! Best regards, Christian

Heads up - mono 2.6.7 on it's way
by Paul F. Johnson 24 Aug '10

Hi, At the end of next week, Novell will be releasing the new version of mono (2.6.7). I'm currently building it for rawhide (well, the release candidate). The new version fixes lots of bugs and is generally a damned sight faster than previous versions. Also being built : libgdiplus, xsp, mod_mono and mono-tools Mono package maintainers do not need to recompile other apps against it. 2.6.7 is the last (unless there is a 2.6.7.1) of the 2.6 branch. From 2.8, support for .NET 1.1 will be dropped. If anyone still has an app which uses the 1.1 framework, it'll die in the 2.8 branching. I suggest either contacting upstream for .NET 2.0 framework patches, fixing it yourself or retiring it from rawhide. Failing that, it may be possible to create a -compat package, but I don't know the mileage in that or even if it's worth it.

Internal compiler error
by Christopher Brown 15 Aug '10

Hi folks, List is a bit quiet so though this might be nice - something for the weekend! Actually, I'm just hoping someone with a bit more brain-fu can nail this one down. I am attempting to compile opendental from: https://70.90.133.65:23793/svn/opendental/opendental7.1 and am getting the following error: Internal compiler error at /home/chris/Projects/OpenDental71/OpenDentBusiness/Data Interface/ProcedureCodes.cs(469,36):: exception caught while emitting MethodBuilder [ProcedureCodes::ResetADAdescriptions] Think I'm just missing a dependency but any input greatly appreciated. -- Christopher Brown

Since F14 will be shipped only one month later than mono 2.8, I'd like to suggest not to update mono in the F14 branch to 2.8 or any release candidates for now. If the mono release would be delayed we would end up with some probably instable pre-release in F14. Updating rawhide with the release candidates or the final mono 2.8 is for sure a good thing to report any problems to upstream early. If it turns out that the final 2.8 is quite stable and none of the major mono-based packages rely on .NET 1.1 we can always reconsidering the decision on the mailing list later on and update it in F14 as well. Paul, do you agree? Best regards, Christian
