Hi, I'd like to let everyone know that with Mono's maintainer, John Merryweather Cooper, currently unavailable, I've taken up looking after Mono for him. At this point I now have a port for Mono 1.0.1 ready for use and it runs fine (well, as fine as the previous version did) on 5.3- BETAs. Along with that, I have ported the remaining packages distributed by Ximian that comprise the Mono framework. In addition to the runtime I have ports for all the latest library bindings, XSP and Apache mod_mono for ASP.NET, and the IKVM Java VM for .NET finished. For all those interested in Mono I have a familiar shell script that will merge my ports tree from CVS into your FreeBSD ports tree. (Yeah, it's just marcusmerge renamed and pointing to my project's CVS repo.) The script can be found here: http://ftp.novell.com/pub/forge/bsd-sharp/mono-merge/MONO_1_0_1/mono- merge-1.0.1.tar.gz Please be aware that the Mono 1.0.1 runtime DOES NOT WORK on anything before FreeBSD 5.3-BETA. I've made a provision for those running 5.2.1 and will not be upgrading for a few weeks. Uncomment the TAG line in the mono-merge.cfg provided and you can pull the entire 1.0 release of Mono. Only a couple of packages released by Ximian were updated for 1.0.1. You will still get XSP and mod_mono (1.0), IKVM, and all the libraries. Also understand that many of these ports are a work in progress. The ASP.NET ports are untested since documentation is a little sparse plus I toy with Apache very little and not at all on FreeBSD. I also haven't had time to experiment with IKVM too much and see if I can get something like Eclipse to run with it. It did start up but class location errors forced it shutdown. If you are interested in Mono, please see my next email regarding the BSD# Project. Please let me know if you have any questions or problems with these ports so that I may begin fixing them. Thanks, Tom -------------------------------------------------------- BSD# Project http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?bsd-sharp
