Hello friends,

here is a quick update.

Since the request for a blanket exception for building with bootstrap was accepted [1], things are now quicker to build a new Mono release.

I have now released Mono 6.8.0.123 for Fedora Rawhide [2]

I have also prepared an update for Fedora 32, from Mono 6.6.0.161 to 6.6.0.166 [3]. It will be in Testing soon.

Just a question: according to the overview [4], we still have Mono 4.6.2 in Epel7. I wonder if there is interest, for me to upgrade it to Mono 6.6, to have the same version as in Epel 8?

I also want to mention my coprs, for Mono 6.6 [5] and Mono 6.8 [6], for various Fedora and Epel versions.

All the best, Timotheus
