1 Hi!

3 As you all know the amd64 profile has mono use flag currently masked
4 (while ago) due to stability issues in this arch. So we decided to mask
5 the use flag until the upstream fixed all problems on amd64.
6 So now it's the time mono upstream as worked great to fix this and now
7 it's time to unmask the mono use flag. We plan to test everything and
8 this means we probably will receive some bugs before unmask it.
9 It's time for you to help us testing mono and all packages that have the
10 mono use flag.
11 You only need to do this little thing to help us:
12
13 echo -mono >> /etc/portage/profiles/use.mask
14 emerge =dev-lang/mono-1.1.13.1
15
16 Test some applications you use on the daily routine and report bugs
17 related to mono on amd64.
18 The target for stablization is mono-1.1.13.1 that was unmasked after the
19 sanity checks of the API.
20 Hopefully in a few days/weeks this will be unmasked and stablized on
21 amd64 if everything runs fine.
