Some questions regarding a number of packages depending on Mono
by Timotheus Pokorra 15 Sep '16

15 Sep '16

Hello, There is quite some movement, and I wonder what people think. a) WebKit1, webkitgtk removal [1] leads to webkit-sharp [2] and mono-tools [3] being in trouble. mono-tools provides monodoc, which is used for displaying the documentation in MonoDevelop, when you click on Help / API documentation (F1). Banshee also has the same issue [4]. Not sure which packages also depend on webkit-sharp. b) MonoDevelop provided as flatpak: [5] Since there are quite some issues packaging MonoDevelop 6 [6] for Fedora, I wonder if that is the easier option. Though the whole point of being able to build from source is gone, with the flatpak build requiring pre-built binaries. c) Fedora packager npmccallum orphaned a number of mono-related packages yesterday: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/gudev-sharp/ https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/gtk-sharp-beans/ https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/gkeyfile-sharp/ https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/gio-sharp/ Are those packages still needed by someone? @npmccallum: any comment on this? Thanks for your suggestions and thoughts, Timotheus [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1375784 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1375827 [3] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1375786 [4] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1375802 [5] https://github.com/mono/md-website/pull/54 [6] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1313236

I have commented at bugzilla; the dependency problem with webkit-sharp is simultaneously easy and hard: webkit-sharp, webkit2-sharp, and webkitgtk3-sharp all essentially offers the same-ish APIs, and it is quite easy to move applications between them. The problem is that there is currently no webkit2 + GTK2 C# binding. But then you have a year to try to figure this out... webkit-sharp is not only webkit1, but also gtk2. https://github.com/hbons/webkit2-sharp - webkit2 + GTK3 https://github.com/openmedicus/webkitgtk3-sharp - webkit1 + GTK3 There is no webkit2 + GTK2 binding, AFAIK. -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 14/9/16, Timotheus Pokorra <timotheus.pokorra(a)solidcharity.com> wrote: Hello, There is quite some movement, and I wonder what people think. a) WebKit1, webkitgtk removal [1] leads to webkit-sharp [2] and mono-tools [3] being in trouble. mono-tools provides monodoc, which is used for displaying the documentation in MonoDevelop, when you click on Help / API documentation (F1).
