Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: important The Mono project has stable working JITers (JIT as in Just-In-Time, used for bytecode to native code optimization during runtime) for x86, ppc and amd64. Sparc is only supported for Solaris, not Linux. S390 is still pretty unstable, maybe in the future this will change. All other architectures are _not_ supported in any way, the problem is JITing, it depends very very very much on the architectures, if you take a look at the source you will find mostly just ASM tables with common tasks.
The Mono debian source package built on arm, alpha and sparc, but this does _not_ mean in any way that the JIT/interpreter or runtime is functional. I hope this report makes everything clear now. PS: mint, the interpreter (alternative to JITing), was never made for real usage, it was a proof-of-concept program, it worked on many architectures but was way too slow for any usage! Mint is also now unmaintained upstream, no way to use this. PSS: please post all comments to "RM: mono:mono" this makes the tracking of the situation/status easier. -- Regards, Mirco 'meebey' Bauer PGP-Key: http://keyserver.noreply.org/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xEEF946C8 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GIT d s-:+ a-- C++ UL++++$ P L++$>+++$ E- W+++$ N o?
