Debian stable literally has newer versions of both Mono and especially MonoDevelop. Don't even get me started on testing and unstable...
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/

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
(In reply to Moez Roy from comment #8) Is the recent build failure related to that patch? http://static-173-79-223-25.washdc.fios.verizon.net/?l=mono-patches&m=138211276301187&q=raw
Maybe also … https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mono-svn-patches/qQrKoyt-j9A Should undefine HAVE_KW_THREAD? https://marc.info/?l=mono-patches&m=124571096012427 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." http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/releases/4.0.0/ 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 ?

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.
