Whew! Somebody finally got to it! I tried many times to get mono in a better shape for Guix, but failed! :) As there are a considerable number of changes here, would you mind giving a short synopsis of what still needs to be made before we either reroll a revision or get a final draft? Thanks! Brett Gilio

What still needs to be made? Beside fixing the tests, the patch I've sent seems to have Mono 5 and 6 working. Final draft of what? Sorry, I feel that I'm missing some context :) If your question is about the Mono ecosystem, there is a lot of work left to do. We need a bootstrapped msbuild (the build tool for Mono), and then ideally we would have a mono-build-system. I can detail this if you want to, let me know.

Sorry, I wrote this email last night when I was rather tired. I meant to say what work still needs to be done on the patch before we commit it. I think the work on msbuild will prove to be slightly tricky, as that is now the default build tool for .NET Core as well, and if I recall correctly .NET Core and Mono use two different instances and configurations of msbuild. If our ultimate goal is to get .NET Core (with .NET 5 approaching to replace .NET Core and .NET Framework, and eventually Mono as well) we should maybe invest time into a general .NET build system. I'm not sure. Thoughts? Brett

I'm not sure. Absolutely. The investment is significant ;) Maybe the first step would be to gather a team of volunteers. This is very low priority for me personally (I don't even know C#). Maybe posting about this on the mailing list and other social media could be a good start. Cheers! -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/
