Please update mono to 1.2.6

[zeroflag]

Binary package hint: mono

There's a new upstream bugfix release, 1.2.6. Would be nice to have it in the repositories.

Thank you for your bug report. I removed the "NOW!" from the bug title, as there is no need to threaten developpers to get something, it's often more productive to say something like "please" or "I would appreciate if...". Thank you.

Closing the monodevelop task, it's unrelated.

We actually have 1.2.5, but will update to 1.2.6.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

And JFI, 1.2.6 was released one week ago. From your initial description, it looks like if it was released a year ago.

I'll surely look into this.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

woops. That should have read YFI.

[zeroflag (zeroflag)]

I think that should have read FYI, and not http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=YFI - at least I hope so. ;)

btw, looked at 1.2.5 - it's only in hardy. and unless you suggest installing hardy, I'll have to live with 1.2.4 which is really, really old ("lupus: I fixed this issue months ago, but 1.2.4 is really ancient").

and sorry for the initial report, I tend to write bug reports when I'm annoyed by something...

[Patrick McEvoy (patrickmcevoy)]

So just to confirm. Is this unlikely to make it to Hardy? I am happy to help if that would increase the chances :)

Ouch! I need to buy a new keyboard ;-) Of course I meant FYI.

Well, you are free to request a backport. See
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports in case you want to have 1.2.5
(or 1.2.6 when it's packaged, which will probably be this weekend) in a stable
release.

Don't worry. But try to calm down and thinking twice what you write before
clicking on "Submit". Because as Jérôme said, you will get more chances of your
request being done, and specially because some people (me for example) are just
volunteers, and we do this for fun. And there is no fun in somebody telling you
need to do something when in fact you don't. And those people will tend to
ignore those reports (and specially if they don't care about that package).

But you're welcome, I am sometimes a bit rude too. ;-) Although that's something
I need to /fix/

Cheers

Patrick: This will surely be in Hardy. It's already in Debian pkg-mono SVN, and I'll take it from there for Ubuntu.

[Patrick McEvoy (patrickmcevoy)]

Emilio: Excellent news! Thank you

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

1.2.6 is now in Debian unstable, and I've merged it. Waiting for review/sponsorship now. ETA - one day.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Mono 1.2.6 uploaded to Hardy:

mono (1.2.6+dfsg-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian, remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/control:
      + Updated Maintainer Field.
      + Adjust Replaces for Ubuntu versions.
      + Added sparc and lpia to architectures.
      + Build-depend on libgda3-dev instead of libgda2-dev.
    - debian/patches/dont_check_proc_self_exe.dpatch:
      + Comment out code that checks /proc/self/exe so that
        mono will function on the Live CD.
    - debian/rules:
      + Symlink doc directories to avoid duplicate files, and remove the doc
        directories on upgrade for the now symlinked doc directories.
    - debian/shlibs.local:
      + Remove libgda3-dev build dependency, as it's in universe.

mono (1.2.6+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * DFSG version of Mono 1.2.6
    + Deleted mcs/class/System.Web.Extensions/System.Web.Script.Serialization/
      JSON/* as those source files are licensed under Creative Commons
      Attribution 2.5 which is not DFSG-free.
  * New upstream release
    + Invoking GetFields on emitted type doesn't crash anymore, as seen with
      nemerle. (Closes: #452585)
  * debian/rules:
    + Updated MONO_API to 1.2.6
    + Enabled moonlight support in configure call.
    + Removed all "rm debian/tmp/usr/lib/mono/gac/"... calls, instead list
      libraries explicitly in .install files.
      (this is pretty error prone when upstream introduces new libraries and
       the rm list became way too long)
    + Copy various 1.0 manpages to 2.0 manpages for missing 2.0 manpages.
    + Remove +dfsg part in upstream version detection (UPVERSION variable).
  * debian/control:
    + Added new packages (mono-mcs/gmcs needed to be split as some parts of the
      runtime relies on the compiler, like the XmlSerializer class):
      - mono-mcs was split to: mono-1.0-devel and mono-1.0-service.
        (monolinker.exe is now shipped part of mono-1.0-devel, Closes: #443833)
      - mono-gmcs was split to: mono-2.0-devel, mono-2.0-service and
        mono-xbuild.
      - mono-smcs, containing the new compiler for moonlight/silverlight
        applications.
      - libmono-corlib2.1-cil and libmono-system2.1-cil, containing the
        moonlight/silverlight runtime libraries.
      - libmono-db2-1.0-cil, containing IBM DB2 database connector.
      - libmono-mozilla0.1-cil, containing the WebControl implementation using
        the Mozilla engine.
      - libmono-i18n1.0-cil and libmono-i18n2.0-cil, containing I18N libraries
        with code page definitions, moved from libmono-corlib{1,2}.0-cil.
      - prj2make-sharp, upstream moved distribution of prj2make-sharp to Mono.
    + libmono-corlib{1,2}.0-cil recommends libmono-i18n{1,2}.0-cil now.
    + Removed mono and mono-devel meta packages, as they are not useful for
      anyone.
  * debian/dh_clideps:
    + Synced from cli-common 0.5.3, needed for CLI 2.1 support.
  * debian/patches/00list:
    + Disabled armel_fix_configure_fpu_check.dpatch
      (FPU check is fixed upstream)
  * debian/pa...
