Bug 1089426

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.

I also desperately need a more current mono version. I need this mainly for arm platform (RasPI, pidora).

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?

I need it for Repetier 1.06 http://www.repetier.com/downloads/

*** Bug 1164015 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

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:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22

marking rawhide/FutureFeature, to avoid autoclose/auto-rebase of the bug

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?

Should undefine HAVE_KW_THREAD?

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?

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?

(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

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.

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.
