Hi,

If you are a user, packager or maintainer of any mono package, you may
like to know that there is now a SIG devoted to Mono.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Mono

I'm not quite sure yet how to set up a mailing list (I think it would be
really useful!) for it, but hey, it's early days yet!

TTFN

Paul

Things I would love to see us address:

1) Getting missing software into Fedora such as Monotorrent-dbus (will be needed for the next Banshee), Monsoon, Tasque and Giver

2) Finishing the reviews for the existing Mono packages like the md additional packages
3) Getting the debug stripper to understand Mono, currently we ship symbols in the main mono packages which bloats their size a bit

4) Bribing the PPC arch team to help us fix nant so our ppc users can have a full Mono stack.

I can help with 1. I already have specs for a few of them for my own use.

Let's get one step closer to the one true mono stack.

Has the Mono SIG looked at packaging WIX
(http://wix.sourceforge.net/)? I took a brief look at it because the
MinGW SIG needs an installer. "It's a bit weird" would be the best
way to describe it. No obvious method of building it under Linux,
lots of C# files, and I wasn't entirely sure it was all Free software.
But that's probably just my unfamiliarity with Mono. In the end we
went with NSIS, which is quite a clumsy tool to use, although it does
work.

The licence is Common Public License v1.0 which I think is ok. The build
system is a bit messed up (and it seems nant is as well!), but it should
be okay under the rawhide mono stack.

I'll have more time later to have a look.
