Description Georgiy Treyvus 2014-04-18 22:50:30 UTC 
Debian stable literally has newer versions of both Mono and especially MonoDevelop. Don't even get me started on testing and unstable...
Comment 1 Chris Morgan 2014-05-21 22:03:55 UTC 
Yeah, the 3.x series has been out for a couple of years now. It would be nice to jump up to the latest release for F21.
Comment 2 Mike 2014-07-17 13:03:14 UTC 
I also desperately need a more current mono version. I need this mainly for arm platform (RasPI, pidora).
Comment 3 ell1e 2014-11-25 19:02:03 UTC 
The open-source game OpenRA (http://openra.net/) runs into issues which the devs told me are most likely due to the old mono version.

Is mono for Fedora still actively maintained?
Comment 4 scattol 2014-12-26 22:39:46 UTC 
I need it for Repetier 1.06 http://www.repetier.com/downloads/

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2015-04-01 13:22:34 UTC 
marking rawhide/FutureFeature, to avoid autoclose/auto-rebase of the bug
Comment 8 Moez Roy 2015-04-01 15:03:20 UTC 
mono-core-3.12.1-0.src.rpm from http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos/SRPMS/ built successfully for F21: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9392781

It failed against rawhide: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9392925

Is the recent build failure related to that patch?

Comment 10 Raphael Groner 2015-04-01 15:49:36 UTC 
Maybe also …

Should undefine HAVE_KW_THREAD?
https://marc.info/?l=mono-patches&m=124571096012427

This is what Google gives me as helpfully looking links so far.

I have no clue.

I am not motivated enough to look more into this right now.

Can you try and see if you can build it for rawhide?
Comment 12 Raphael Groner 2015-04-07 14:15:31 UTC 
Mono 4.0.0 Release Notes:
"We no longer build or package reference assemblies for the .NET 2.0, .NET 3.5 or .NET 4.0 APIs. We only support now the .NET 4.5 assemblies as well as the mobile-based profiles."

What's the strategical plan in Fedora?
Comment 13 Timotheus Pokorra 2015-04-10 06:31:02 UTC 
(In reply to Moez Roy from comment #8)

It seems that Mono 4.0 Alpha1 builds fine on Rawhide:
https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/elsupergomez/mono-4/build/85185/

I tried to find the difference in the Mono github repository, but was not able to find it.
mono/mini/mini.c has been split, and the function mono_get_jit_tls_offset now lives in
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mono/mini/mini-runtime.c#L674
but still looks the same as in 3.12.1:
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/mono-3.12.1/mono/mini/mini.c#L2638
Comment 14 Raphael Groner 2015-09-22 17:50:21 UTC 
Mono 4 is now in Fedora 23 Beta, see official announcement.

Can we so close this bug as a duplication of bug #1221559 ?

Maybe close as Next Release ? is another option.
Comment 16 Peter Robinson 2015-11-04 11:17:52 UTC 
I'm going to close this, IMO it's too evasive to push back to F-22, F-21 will be EOL in around a month. Those that wish to use mono are strongly advised to upgrade to Fedora 23 which is now GA.
