The current version of mono on Ubuntu 7.10 is 1.2.4.2. There are fixes in 1.2.5.2 which I need. Getting 1.2.5.2 built is no problem, but getting it installed without causing all kinds of problems appears to be. This is something I miss about Gentoo.

I’ve tried building my own package, but the official packages for mono are split up into many smaller packages which made that impossible.

I think what I’ll have to do in order to upgrade is to get the source package using apt-get source, unpack it all, and see if I can just replace the 1.4.2.2 code with the 1.2.5.2 code.

I have already pulled the source package down successfully and unpacked it. It looks like the Ubuntu guys applied many patches to it. I don’t know if those patches will work with the new version of code, or if the new version of code contains those patches. It’s probably some combination of the two. This will take some time. I’ll post a follow up if I ever get this working.
