Hello:<br>
<br>
I know this topic has been mentioned over and over, and everyone is
irritated by it.&nbsp; But why not meet the Mono project
half-way?&nbsp; Why can't the hal-sharp and the dbus-sharp, and
gtk-sharp add-ons be included in the fedora packages?<br>
<br>
At the moment Fedora seems to want absolutely nothing to do with
Mono.&nbsp; Why not try to go a little farther and include mono
interfaces to dbus, hal, gnome, etc.&nbsp; This means that if someone
does install Mono then all the system libraries are ready to do some C#
programming.&nbsp; And if a user doesn't install Mono, then the
interfaces will lie there useless.<br>
<br>
Look at it this way, Fedora should try to do the smallest amount
possible to embrace Mono.&nbsp; Make it easier on the repositories that
do include Mono, so that if I want to install Beagle or F-Spot, I can
leave the system libraries on Fedora alone.<br>
<br>
There are some killer-apps built using Mono.&nbsp; Fedora should get cheeky and see what they can get away.<br>
