Mono-2.4 has been built for ppc64 in F11 and devel. So people should be able to start rebuilding packages to include ppc64 as well as the other arches. There's a few wrinkles to watch out for: 1) Packages with dependencies will have to be built in dependency order. For instance, a lot of packages depend on the gtk-sharp2 bindings and those haven't been built yet. 2) Because of the imminent release of F11 we're in a freeze state. This means getting dependencies into the Fedora11 buildroot will require people to request tagging explicitly. This also means that if you rebuild your package for F11 with ppc64 support and later you have to get this package tagged into the release, all of the packages it depends on will need to be tagged in as well (otherwise your ppc64 build will have broken deps). With these in mind, I'd recommend people start rebuilding their mono packages on ppc64 in the devel branch. Keep track of the dependency chain you encounter. Then perform your builds in the Fedora 11 branch as updates after the release. I'm not a mono-sig member, though, so if you guys decide something else makes sense, just be sure to come up with a plan so we don't release with a bunch of broken dependencies. -Toshio
