Hello. I am new to the list, please forgive and let me know if this is not the appropriate forum.
I was very pleased when IronPython appeared on synaptic -- even though I was a bit concerned that the version was 2.6B2 about the time that 2.6 was released. No problem, given the regularity with which Ubuntu updates their packages, so I waited. A short while ago, I contributed a patch to the IronPython standard library. I received a somewhat acid comment that my patch had not been tested on Mono/Linux. True, it had not. I downloaded the current source of IronPython from github, and discovered that I cannot build, because my version of Mono is too old. In order to get a current version of Mono, my sources suggested, just switch to Redhat!!! WTF?! _Redhat_ has the latest stuff and Ubuntu is dragging in ancient history? Something is wrong here! IronPython 2.7 was released last week, with my patch and without the requested test. Other than grouching on this list, what can I do to get my favourite distro up to speed? -- Vernon Cole -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
