Viraptor's dev-log

Repo at www.viraptor.info/repo has been updated with backport of libgdiplus and mono-1.2.4 from gusty.

Enjoy!

As suggested before, I’ve created an Ubuntu Feisty backport repository for mono stuff. Monodevelop & deps from Gusty is already available. Line for your sources.list is:

deb http://www.viraptor.info/repo feisty-custombackports contrib

Have fun!
I hope that mono 1.2.4 will hit that repo soon also.

Mono version 1.2.2.1 is already in source repos for feisty, so it’s time to upgrade it in edgy also.

As usual: get mono .deb packages. This time if you want sqlite*.0-cil, you’ll also need new libsqlite itself. It’s provided along with main packages.

For those suspicious - yes - 1.2.2.1 exists officially, but the main www.mono-project.org page is a bit laggy with updates lately. I told that to mono guys yesterday, so there may be some update in a short time.

Dependencies provided: sqlite (with lemon), libgdiplus, cli-common.
Additional stuff: prj2make-sharp.

I’ve noticed some search hits for ubuntu and mono from google, so I’ll probably keep the tradition of posting new debs ASAP (that means as soon as they’re in feisty and if I’m still stuck with edgy).

Hello again!
Mono-1.2.2 is ready for downloading! Making packages for edgy is as easy as always, but anyway - this time instead of deleting .deb’s, I’ve uploaded them for so called “community”.

Go - get it: mono-1.2.2 deb packages for edgy. It includes newest cli-common, mono and libgdiplus from feisty, so you probably don’t need anything else. Have fun.

Post update: what’s the minimal mono toolchain? Hard question - but I’ll just list dependencies of mono-mcs and mono-gmcs. That’s all you need to create console “Hello world”. Even winforms one in 2.0, as there is mono-gmcs -> libmono-microsoft-build -> libmono-winforms dependency. Just get everything else when needed.
For those developing 1.0/1.1:

• libmono0
• libmono1.0-cil
• libmono-corlib1.0-cil
• libmono-data-tds1.0-cil
• libmono-peapi1.0-cil
• libmono-relaxng1.0-cil
• libmono-security1.0-cil
• libmono-sharpzip0.84-cil
• libmono-system1.0-cil
• libmono-system-data1.0-cil
• libmono-system-runtime1.0-cil
• libmono-system-web1.0-cil
• mono-common
• mono-gac
• mono-jit
• mono-mcs
• mono-runtime
• mono

For those developing 2.0:

• libmono0
• libmono2.0-cil
• libmono-accessibility2.0-cil
• libmono-corlib1.0-cil
• libmono-corlib2.0-cil
• libmono-data-tds2.0-cil
• libmono-microsoft-build2.0-cil
• libmono-peapi2.0-cil
• libmono-security2.0-cil
• libmono-sharpzip2.84-cil
• libmono-system2.0-cil
• libmono-system-data2.0-cil
• libmono-system-web2.0-cil
• libmono-winforms2.0-cil
• mono-common
• mono-gac
• mono-gmcs
• mono-jit
• mono-runtime
• mono

And general crowd will probably just want to join both lists together. I’ll create “basic-{1|2}” folder with proper links… one day. Maybe on 1.2.3, maybe when I’m bored.

If you’re using Ubuntu, then mono-1.2.1 is available already. How? Easy as 1-2-3 on edgy (and previous probably too). Add:

deb-src http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty universe multiverse main restricted

to /etc/apt/sources, run:

apt-get update
apt-get build-dep mono
apt-get source mono –build

And install all the .deb-s that were created. That’s all! Really.
