"But it's kind of unsupported and most of the time it lags behind. Currently on my brand new ubuntu system, it's version 3.2, on my "stable" ubuntu its 2.10. The current version is 3.4."
Isn't that more of a problem with Debian/Ubuntu than it is Mono? You're not comparing what Mono's released to Microsoft's .NET runtime, you're comparing what Ubuntu ships to what Mono themselves have released.
- francisl 13y agoI understand that is not the actual status and capabilities of mono. But if you want to ship your app and use the latest feature, this is a problem. If it's a couch-developed app for your own use, this is not an issue.
- cwyers 13y agoSure, but that's an issue in packaging software for Linux that goes far beyond Mono/Xamarin. Any software you develop for Linux that has external dependencies is dependent upon the decisions of at least a dozen major distributions on what to support, package and ship. Solving that problem is way behond the scope of the Mono runtime.
