Correct. This is one of the biggest reasons why my support for F9 is much slower, the changes in rawhide are massive and to backport many of them would break more than they would fix. > Maybe once Mono 2.0 Final hits we can decide if a coordinated push to > F9 (and F8 if it is still supported at such a time) is desirable, that > would give us time to clean everything up and maybe the friendly ppc > arch team can help us fix nant as well so ppc users can get a complete > mono stack. Mono 2.0 is due for release in the next week or so, so it should be there fully in F10 (though it will be a race!). I'd be much happier with F9 to have the 1.9.1 release (or even a full blown 2.0 release). This would make things a damned sight simpler to keep up to date. It would though need all the mono contributors to co-ordinate a single push. First mono/libgdiplus/mono-basic then gtk stack then MD/nant/mono-tools/monodoc/mono-addins then whatever else is there. Anyone interested in a mono-SIG? It could be useful! TTFN Paul -- Sie können mich aufreizen und wirklich heiß machen!
