At the end of next week, Novell will be releasing the new version of

I'm currently building it for rawhide (well, the release candidate). The
Ok, sounds good. However, I'd like to suggest to wait for the official
release before adding it to RAWHIDE... would this be ok?
Just as a heads-up: I'm seeing strange build problems on x86-64: it is
not even possible to rebuild the mono package for rawhide and F13. I'm
debugging the problem with dgilmore, mmcgrath and nirik and it looks
like that the build machines with RHEL6 can't successfully build mono
anymore since mcs.exe just gets stuck waiting for a futex.
I'll keep you updated.
new version fixes lots of bugs and is generally a damned sight
faster
than previous versions.
Also being built : libgdiplus, xsp, mod_mono and mono-tools
Mono package maintainers do not need to recompile other apps against it.
2.6.7 is the last (unless there is a 2.6.7.1) of the 2.6 branch.
From
2.8, support for .NET 1.1 will be dropped. If anyone still has an app
which uses the 1.1 framework, it'll die in the 2.8 branching. I suggest
either contacting upstream for .NET 2.0 framework patches, fixing it
yourself or retiring it from rawhide.
But this will only be important once we updated to mono 2.8, correct?
Best regards,
Christian
