Bug#813700: ITP: mono-reference-assemblies -- Mono runtime - compiler compatibility for older .NET releases
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Jo Shields * Package name: mono-reference-assemblies Version : 3.12.1 Upstream Author : Xamarin Inc * URL : http://www.mono-project.com/ * License : (Mostly MIT, a few others, see debian/copyright) Programming Lang: (C#) Description : Mono runtime - compiler compatibility for older .NET releases Mono is a platform for running and developing applications based on the ECMA/ISO Standards. Mono is an open source effort led by Xamarin. Mono provides a complete CLR (Common Language Runtime) including compiler and runtime, which can produce and execute CIL (Common Intermediate Language) bytecode (aka assemblies), and a class library. These packages contains files required to compile applications against an older version of .NET, using Mono 4.0 or above, which only include the latest version of the class library as-is. This is important for producing apps for wider distribution This is essentially a re-upload of an obsolete Mono version, as a new source package - the files generated here are bundled as binary blobs in upstream Mono releases, and we are simply regenerating them cleanly from source for inclusion in the Debian archive - this is similar to libstdc++5/gcc-3.3 still being in the archive

Right. So something like...
debian/control:
Vcs-Git: ${vcs:repo}
Vcs-Browser: ${vcs:browser}
debian/vcs:
Vcs-Type: Git
Vcs-Host: Debian
Vcs-Path: /
debian/rules:
override_dh_gencontrol:
dh_your_new_magic_vcs_script
dh_gencontrol
(that, or "dh --with-magic-vcs-script", of course, whatever you prefer)
...would do all that with little extra required infrastructure; just the
dh_your_new_magic_vcs_script thing that you'd have to write. This script
would parse debian/vcs, and generate ${vcs:repo} and ${vcs:browser}
substitution variables in debian/substvars. Then whenever the brand new
URL scheme happens, all that's needed is an update of the magic VCS
script and a rebuild (or binNMU) of the affected packages.

I like this constructive contribution which really fits the intention of
my initial mail. Probably that's the easiest one to implement without
touching main infrastructure. Seems we are just lacking a volunteer for
implementation.
Kind regards
Andreas.

An application menu is just a window for the X server, except that it has certain flags set so that it doesn't get any decoration etc. That doesn't necessarily mean that the window manager is at fault here, but that's something for you and the maintainer to figure out further :-) -- It is easy to love a country that is famous for chocolate and beer -- Barack Obama, speaking in Brussels, Belgium, 2014-03-26

I appreciate this idea and effort. Unfortunately, this is the type of
information we want in the *source* package (at least AFAICT), and to my
knowledge you cannot use substitution variables in those.

Ack. And besides that, even if we wanted to have tens of thousands of
binNMUs in general, they (currently) don't work for arch:all
packages.
In general, I liked the original idea of de-coupling the vcs info
from the source package in order to avoid the need of
uploads/binNMUs. Everything else won't bring us much, I fear ...
Cheers,
gregor
