For those who don’t follow my exciting life on the IRCosphere or Tweetoscape, I’m now officially a Debian Developer, complete with snazzy email address. What this means in real terms is that the pkg-cli-apps, pkg-cli-libs and pkg-mono teams now have a second person with upload rights, alongside the talented but occasionally overworked Mirco Bauer. Which should lower the amount of time that contributor packages and patches spend waiting to be sponsored. As the cool kids say: “woo!”

Alright!
So when can we look forward to MonoDevelop 2.2 (and its start-a-new-Moonlight-project goodness) finding its way into Debian / Ubuntu?

@Jared Spurbeck, soon. 2.2 is actually a pretty easy change from 2.0, packager-wise. Just some bits and pieces to sort out first – such as whether to strip the Moonlight bits (since they require the Moonlight SDK which doesn’t properly exist yet)

@directhex, hm … what would a Moonlight SDK look like, compared to the currently existing option to start a Moonlight project in MonoDevelop 2.2, and when would it be available? Please forgive my ignorance, I haven’t programmed in years.

@Jared Spurbeck, It looks like http://mjhutchinson.com/files/temp/MoonSDK-Preview-2009-05-05.zip – take a look at http://mjhutchinson.com/journal/2009/05/08/moonlight_development_linux_monodevelop

OK, we disagree on some stuff, but congrats! It is always great to hear that Debian gets new devs!
I love collaboration!

Cool!
So please tell us when we can look forward to get Mono 2.4 and MonoDevelop 2.2 as a regular update in Ubuntu
:-)
I hope soon …

@Bert, Ubuntu policy prevents their inclusion as regular official backports. They’re the kind of thing I put in my PPA.
