Are we talking about a commercial build of Mono for Ubuntu? If not this is very simple, if you are needing business support you need to purchase a commercial build, which if you are using this for a commercial project is not too much to ask. If you are not using it for business and you are having problems report the problem and move on. If you think it can be better then help the kind people who work everyday to make Mono.

This is how non-commercial Linux works if you don't like it you are politely invited to help, this is no different than anything else done in non-commercial Linux. If you don't mind I'll just say think you to the people who work on Mono (non-commcial) for me to use and the nice people at Ubuntu who work had bringing us Ubuntu. If I have a problem I'll report the bug in the correct bug reporting manner. Giving the non-commercial developers and packagers a hard time via email list doesn't help.

Sorry the first thing I said on this list is negative but someone need to stand up for those who work hard everyday.

Totally agree with @daniel except that I am not agree the part where said we
not thanks/appreciate Ubuntu team.
I don't know about the rest of the world but for me and the people that I
introduce to /talk with them about Ubuntu they all appreciate the great
afford and policing put into get this excellent distro for us.

Perhap using Window&  develop in .NET Framework with just click and get
thing work make me junior coder a lazy labor. However to abandon Windows
camp and join Linux my option is to pick popular Linux distro and can do my
job on it that how I feel having mono ready and up to date on the Ubuntu
(official support :D) would be a big plus.

Build one run every where !

The ubuntu devs package and deploy for their release which happens every
6 months. it is insane to say its up to them to package version released
between OS versions.

Ubuntu comes with a packaged version on gnome do, which is fine, however
I choose to use a more recent version of gnome do so I use a PPA which
is supplied by the developers  (not the ubuntu devs)

The fact that ubuntu/devian developers package mono for you for its OS
releases is a bonus, did Microsoft package up mono  and include it in
its Windows 7? NO! did Apple package up mono and include it in snow
leopard? no. So ubuntu is helping you guys out hugely but do you thank
them? no, you just expect more of them.

I also use Chrome in ubuntu. Its not in the repros at all, when I wanted
to install chrome did google say... O sorry its up to ubuntu/debian to
package chrome for you, its not our fault if they don't. No, they
packaged it themselves and even provided different channels so I can
decide exactly how cutting edge I want to be.

So you have to worry about a newer version breaking existing
applications, how is this different from on any other operating system?

It's not up to the ubuntu devs to package new versions of mono for exist
OS releases, its up to the mono project to do this and provide it as a
PPA.

The question you need to ask is, how important is the largest desktop
linux distribution to the mono project.

At my work we started to port a .net application to mono, however it
need to run on ubuntu (8.04) do you know what version of mono is in
8.04 its 1.2.6, everything for our app was supported in mono 2.4 but
mono 1.2.6? not even close. So we abandoned our efforts, I'm sure their
are lots of other people out there with similar stories. Those of us who
use ubuntu feel a little bit like second class citizens.

     Hi Stephen,

     Fact 1: the provider decides on the virtualized platforms, not me.
     They have Fedora, Ubuntu or Debian systems ready.

     Fact 2: I've used Debian and Fedora for a decade, so I'm more
     familiar with Ubuntu as with SuSe.

     Fact 3: I've started working on merging all my sites/servers back
     to Windows 2008.
     It is a sad story, but the lack of real features on mono (Web
     Services still has bugs for years, the LINQ implementation is a
     horror etc.) makes it more and more hard to use it as a real
     Production (not a toy playground) platform.


     üdvözlettel
     with regards

If there are web services bugs, file bugs--if nobody knows about them,
they can't get fixed. Also, clarify what you mean by LINQ? LINQ to
Objects is pretty simple and there's only so many ways to implement
that, so I'm not sure how you can lay claim to that being a horror.
LINQ to SQL is a different story, and a huge effort that is only now
beginning to be integrated into Mono properly. You could also file
bugs for those--once again, if nobody knows about them, they can't get
fixed.
