I have seen many reverse deps being broken after people update to mono-4 versions from testing. Hence, we would need to know: 1. What is the way to properly fix that issues? Some people simply point to specify the path manually like MCS=/usr/bin/mcs . The problem with this is that it looks like (as we see in libproxy bug) it breaks with mono-2 and, then, we would need to conditionally do that depending on the mono version found at build time. Other people suggests bigger changes like https://github.com/gentoo/dotnet/issues/92#issuecomment-127455341 2. We would really appreciate if Toralf could run a *stable* tinderbox + latest mono-4 version to know the amount of reverse deps we need to get fixed before we can even think in stabilizing mono-4 and get rid of our really old stable version Thanks a lot
I keyworded dev-lang/mono ~amd64 so the 4.x versions will be used in stable too.
This is really important now as it seems mono-4 went to stable and near all reverse deps have problems with mono-4 :S
I'm using mono 4 with no problems, just by including a symlink as follows: dosym /usr/bin/mcs /usr/bin/gmcs is it really that easy?
I just recently encountered this. What is the listed fix suggesting? Downloading a binary package and using it to bootstrap mono? I tried 5.4.1.6 and 4.4.1.0.
tree should be now ok
