Support for mono and mono apps within FC5

[Paul]

Hi,

With the release of F7 imminent, my thoughts as the packager of many FE
mono apps turn to the issue of support for FC5.

My usual stance is that once a version is retired (into what is/was the
legacy project), I stop supporting it. With mono I'm prepared to make an
exception as long as one thing happens - that the current version of
Mono in FC5 is updated to be mono-1.1.17 (as is used in FC6 currently).

Why should I make things depend on this?

Simple. Mono has two branches - one has everything in /usr/lib
irrespective of if you're on 32 or 64 bit, the other has everything
placed correctly depending on the processor. This change was made quite
a while back, but never put into FC5. It makes support a pain as within
the spec file, extra bits need to be added to ensure the build works
under FC5 and FC6+

Comments would be welcome on this.

TTFN

Paul
