  • Looking to get Iron* and the DLR into RedHat

    I sent an email to the Fedora Legal list asking whether they will accept software released under the MS-PL license. My friend and former colleague, Brett Lentz mentioned that he was concerned that the Fedora folks might not accept software released under the MS-PL. So I asked. I also bcc’d a certain troll on said…

  • dlr-languages packaging

    An update on recent changes to the IronRuby packaging. We’ve changed the name of the source package because We’re packaging IronPython as well as IronRuby (thanks doko!) I’ve added the wrapper scripts (irake, igem, etc.). Maybe this is showing that I’m not a heavy user… After building meebey’s packages and installing them: $ cat /etc/debian_version…

  • mono-2.4.2.3+dfsg-1 submitted

    19:44 < meebey> Subject: mono_2.4.2.3+dfsg-1_i386.changes is NEW So joyous. I’ll be using that for the ironruby thing. Real soon now.

  • mono-2.4.2.3 debs will include array comparison patch

    Thanks to Marek being a superhero, we have isolated the changes necessary to fix the compiler from the 2.4.2.3 tag so that we can build IronRuby with xbuild. I’ve delivered the patch to meebey, and he has included it in his debian/patches list. Without this patch, I was going to have to package up the…

  • CI build server produces Iron Python bins, too!

    Ivan has updated the build script to produce IronPython binaries as well as IronRuby. Get your fresh DLR-powered, mono-friendly, dynamic language implementations here: http://dlrci.colliertech.org/ There are now links to source and binary tarballs as well as source zips on each of the build result status messages: http://ironruby.colliertech.org/integrity/ironruby I’ve been putting some effort in to getting…

  • Ironruby tarballs available

    Ivan has been doing some great work on the Mono/IronRuby continuous integration server recently. He and Ankit got xbuild support integrated, and now we have new tarballs being generated for each build. You can find them here: http://ironruby.colliertech.org/ I’ll be using these tarballs as the ‘upstream’ source for the upcoming debian packages of IronRuby. I…

  • libvirt patch accepted

    Whee. I submitted a patch to libvirt to include ARM machines in the capabilities list. Folks should now be able to create arm hosts with less hassle. Since Lenny, Debian has officially supported the arm architecture. I’ll write up a HOWTO for getting a qemu VM online. I plan to use this to develop Mono…
