we are discussing in this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1220138 the work that would be required to upgrade Mono in Epel.
I am aware that this is a major upgrade, and according to [1] it should be avoided. But Mono is that old in Epel7 already, so the discussion currently goes into the direction that an upgrade is better than nobody using Mono in Epel at all.
It either needs to be upgraded or retired, I have no issues with it being upgraded.
I would like to upgrade to the latest stable Mono version, which is 4.2 at the moment. That is in rawhide already, F23 has Mono 4.0.
Is there a LTS release in the mono 4.x release?
What do people think on this list?
What's the future of Mono with an open source MS .Net core?
Do I need to create a Fesco ticket to request permission to upgrade Mono in Epel7, and to do a bootstrap similar to Mono 4 in Fedora [2]?
Well it would be Eesco, but personally I don't believe it's needed, it just needs to be properly co-ordinated.
Thanks for any hints and suggestions, Timotheus
