Hi, my problem is that I'm only using mono for web services on my servers (I've never used Ubuntu or Linux as a desktop). I'm renting virtual machines, so I can't compile from source on the server - and I simply don't know anything about re-packaging and all stuff - basically I can't update all nodes easily for a version change.
I think a "for webservers only" build for Ubuntu would be a good solution. Without it, I'm aliening the rpms from the SuSe distribution. b. üdvözlettel with regards Kardos Bálint _______________________________________ http://skaelede.hu 10 (0xA) év a magyar weben On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 22:22, Alan McGovern <alan.mcgov...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hey, > > On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 5:13 PM, Chorn Sokun <chornso...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Is it all that easy as Peter mention why not some kind mono Guru provide >> packaging for some weak heart like me :D > > > It's the debian/ubuntu gurus who package it for debian/ubuntu.
