Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee for RHEL6 and clones

[Nelson Marques <nmo marques gmail com>]

Mono can't be built with Red Hat policies, Red Hat doesn't allow cross
compiling. About Fedora, I'm not following their packaging rules
either, I've decided to follow upstream (based on the work on
openSUSE).

I think it's going ok... but on the hand my packaging is by far more
complete than the one in Fedora, so I'm offering a full suite the only
thing missing so far is glade support (no dependencies).
