Future of nant, log4net, mono-sharpcvslib and mono-ndoc
by Christian Krause 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Hi All! Tom, Paul, sorry for the private mails, but you were quite involved with these packages and so I would like to get you opinion! The current status is, that these 4 packages don't build correctly with mono 2.10.1. However, it looks like that nothing else requires them. ;-) I have not investigated the build issues deeply since I got the impression from earlier mails on this topic that these packages are more or less obsolete anyway. Here's my understanding from all information I gather from various postings: - nant seems to be still listed officially as part of the mono releases, so it probably should stay in - log4net and mono-ndoc should be retired - mono-sharpcvslib could be probably retired, too (it seems to need log4net, at least for building), but it seems to be a BR: of nant... If we want to keep nant, I'm seeking out for some help to get it updated to 0.90. The straight forward way of bootstrapping it does not work since log4net is required. Any comments and/or suggestions are very welcome! Best regards, Christian

Mono 2.10.1 status report
by Christian Krause 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Hi, here is now a short update about the status of mono 2.10.1 for rawhide / F15: I have finished Paul's work on the mono 2.10.1 packages (in rawhide) and it looks quite promising so far. All important packages are rebuilt and I hope that I have solved the most annoying dependency issues. Solved issues: -------------- - upgrade path F15 -> rawhide works - worst dependency issues fixed, neither f-spot nor banshee require (indirectly) mono-devel - banshee and f-spot seem to work Unsolved issues, which don't block updating mono in F15: -------------------------------------------------------- - upgrade path F14 -> F15 not tested yet, will be tested when creating the F15 packages - monodevelop still doesn't work correctly, but some debugging showed that this is caused by some strange glib2 issue (Please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679373 for details.) - not all dependencies are straightened out: monodevelop still needs mono-devel (which may be OK), but e.g. banshee and f-spot still draw in mono-extras, monodoc and mono-winforms - future of nant, log4net and mono-ndoc unclear (I'll send out a separate mail regarding this topic) Next Steps: ----------- 1. "Smoke-Test" of mono 2.10.1 Please test the rawhide packages either in rawhide or in F15 (they install without any problems from the the koji-rawhide repository): - put the attached "fedora-rawhide-koji.repo" file into /etc/yum.repos.d/ - use these yum command line parameters: "--enablerepo rawhide-koji" for enabling the repo when installing and/or upgrading mono packages I suggest the following tests: - install whatever mono application you want in F15 (_without_ the mentioned option) - use e.g. "yum update --enablerepo rawhide-koji 'mono*' 'f-spot' 'banshee' 'monodevelop'" to update only the mono-related packages from rawhide/koji - Check, whether the major applications (banshee, monodevelop, f-spot) still work. - Do all small tools like monodoc, monodis etc. still work? - Does ASP.Net works? - Can winforms applications be executed? - Are there any strange dependencies between the various sub-packages? - etc. etc. - please provide all feedback on this mailing list - later we have to decide whether any of the reported issues are blocking the update of mono 2.10.1 in F15 2. Update mono in F15 to 2.10.1 - if there are no show-stoppers, I plan to migrate all changes done in rawhide to F15 3. monodevelop issue - this problem must be investigated further - please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679373 for details - any help is highly appreciated That's all for now. ;-) Please don't hesitate to send any (positive and negative) feedback to the mailing list. Best regards, Christian
