Hi all!

I'm working on a team at novell that is working on getting UIA implemented on linux.  A lot of the fun "what is mono uia?" is here [1], but the jist of it is that it makes winform apps accessible on Linux through the atk/at-spi.

Our 1.0 (this month) will require mono 2.4 and gtk-sharp 2.12.8 (also this month).  I was hoping to get these packages for fedora (11?).  I currently have openSUSE 11.0 and 11.1 packages in the openSUSE build service [2].  Here are some links on one of my blog posts[3].

Thanks, Stephen

That sounds interesting, once it is out I am sure we can issue requests to have it packaged for Fedora. I assume bugs would be filed on the Novell bugzilla?

They would.  There is a module under mono.  We aren't actually part of the mono group.  We are working on bugs a lot right now.

If anyone is interested in helping build out the mono stuff in OBS [1](openSUSE build service) I'd be more than willing to help keep that up to date and add it to my build server (and check in the spec files into svn).

I'm not sure that I'd be able to sync up with koji though?

Thanks, Stephen

Sorry forgot to mention for those that haven't looked at OBS, it fires up a fresh xen machine for each build creating a clean env every time. It supports suse-based, rhel(4,5), centos (5), fedora(9,10), debian(4.5), mandriva(08,09), ubuntu (6.06 - 8.10), and custom repos.

Cheers, Stephen
