Currently mono-addins 0.3.1 requires mono-1.9 because it does not compile against mono-1.2. However, a a simple 1-line patch allows it to compile against the current stable Mono. Banshee-1.2 requires mono-addins-0.3.1.
Created attachment 164108 [details, diff] Patch to allow compile on mono-1.2.x
Created attachment 164110 [details] Updated ebuild for mono-addins-0.3.1
Note that mono-addins-0.3.1 compile just fine with mono-1.2.6 without the patch. It seems banshee-1.2 itself will not compile on anything less than mono-1.2.6, even with this patch, for unrelated reasons. However,the RDEPEND on dev-dotnet/mono-addins can still be safely dropped from >=dev-lang/mono-1.9 to >=dev-lang/mono-1.2.6 regardless of the applied patch.
