[Mono-list] Mono builds for Linux

2014-04-03 Thread Timotheus Pokorra
Hello, I read this morning that there was a discussion on IRC about Linux and Windows builds last night. The page http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html offers downloads for Windows, Linux and Mac, but only the Mac version seems to be updated quickly. I cannot say anything about Win

Most distributions are slow at introducing updates to runtimes such as mono, python or java, and as a result, people have to package these runtimes themselves. If there were official builds and repositories available for the opt-mono packages as you’ve done, I expect most would be very happy to

[Mono-list] Mono and Windows CE

2014-04-03 Thread Bo Gusman
Hi. I'm working on a Windows CE contract that requires over-the-air updates of a small set of DLLs that are infrequently changed. When my app starts up, it queries a web service to see if there are any new updates and if so, requests them. After updating, the main thread of my app starts up,

WinCE/Compact Framework has never been supported by mono as far as I know. And it is not even supported by microsoft in Visual Studios newer then 2008. If your client wants to support WinCE then they need windows in there toolchain period. If they ready dislike windows that much then why do they s
