Update the Mono stack in Fedora from 2.10 to 4.*
== Detailed Description ==
Support for Mono versions 3.0 and 2.10 is been discontinued. No
further development of bug fixing is planned for those branches. Mono
4 is the active branch an have many improvements . See upstream notes
http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/releases/4.0.0/
Mono require it self to build. Actual version 2.10.8 is to old to
build version 4 that require at less version 3.4. At the moment on
copr we use monolite a little version of mono compiler shipped in the
tarball for first build time.
We have two option to upgrade:
* Upgrade mono to version 3.4, then to version 3.12 and then to
version 4.0.1 on rawhide (actually 3.4 don't build on rawhide this
need fixed)
* Make a one time exception of the rule for build mono 4.0.1-1 using
monolite, later make mono depend again on it self and rebuild mono
4.0.1-2 using mono-4.0.1-1 .
as Mono 4 adds support for the ppc64le architecture (and aarch64
support was probably added earlier), we (the Secondary arches team)
would like to see a full bootstrap and subsequent update of %mono_arches
For any questions regarding secondary arches, please don't hesitate to
contact us.
