 Hello,

 this is my first post to this list. My name is Timotheus Pokorra, I am
 from Germany, and I am also interested to get an uptodate version of
 Mono into Fedora and later into CentOS or Epel.
 I am developing and deploying OpenPetra, an administration software
 under GPL for charities and mission organisations, on CentOS.
 https://www.openpetra.org
 I am maintaining Mono packages on OBS for various linux distributions:
 https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/home:tpokorra:mono
 Obviously it is quite easy because there are no rules to follow.
 I understand that a distribution like Fedora needs packaging rules,
 and the rules have a good reason.

 I am not working on this currently. Some one should inform upstream
 that it doesn't build for GCC 5 / C++ 11.
 It seems that Mono 4.0 Alpha1 builds fine on Rawhide:
 https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/elsupergomez/mono-4/build/85185/

 I have added a comment to:
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1089426

 IMHO I think we should focus on getting Mono 4.0 into Fedora
 (according to the First foundation of Fedora...)

 All the best,
   Timotheus

You can try hanging out at #fedora-devel on freenode irc and find some
one to sponsor you to the packagers group. Good luck.

Roadmap for Mono packages in Fedora ?

2015-04-09 Thread Gabriel L. Somlo
I've been given a (.net4.5/c# + vmware) project to port to
Fedora/RHEL (mono + kvm), so I suddenly find myself interested
in gaining access to late-model official Fedora packages for
mono (4.0.0 alpha is just out) and monodevelop (currently at 5.7.0).

The current F21 versions are 2.10.8 and 2.8.8, respectively, and
I see those versions are still the same in rawhide.

Are there any plans to package the more recent versions in F22 or F23 ?

Thanks much,
--Gabriel

There are.

Gabriel (fas: elsupergomez) has some build around here:
https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/elsupergomez/mono-4/

Lately,  Moez (fas: moezroy) started to look at it closely with some
scratch builds here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/moezroy/task_9392781/ .

They will have more input to give you on the status.
