Bertrand,

I will test them soon, I need my other laptop for doing so. This one
only has Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

I never touched that repository and no one ever complained. You can
remove it and I can remove it on my end as well. I doubt anyone really
needs Banshee daily snapshots. Unless we could get it fully
automatized (and we needed a custom spec for it), it's utterly
useless.

Depends mainly on your boss, mine is a cool one... :)

I need the Mono:EL6 to be populated first and properly tested. My
first tests do allow Banshee to run, but it shatters with:

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type
'Banshee.ServiceStack.DBusServiceManager' from assembly
'Banshee.Services, Version=2.2.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null'.
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeLoadException: Could not
load type 'Banshee.ServiceStack.DBusServiceManager' from assembly
'Banshee.Services, Version=2.2.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null'.

This is from packages rebuilt for EL6 from Fedora... That's one of the
reasons why I started repackaging the upstream mono packages from
openSUSE to RHEL, so I can have a Mono install that I feel mroe
confortable.
