What is the best way to get the latest version of mono on ubuntu?
Best Answer
Not sure it's the best option, but i use the repository of badgerports
About badgerports:
badgerports is a software repository
for use with Ubuntu Linux 10.04.
Whilst on the whole it is a good idea
to use the software provided with your
Linux distribution, there are
sometimes bugs or major software
updates that cannot be included for
operational reasons. badgerports is a
home for a number of wayward software
packages, to enhance the Ubuntu
experience.
The primary purpose of badgerports is
to provide recent versions of the Mono
framework, and associated packages
such as F-Spot, Banshee, and
Monodevelop. Suggestions for other
packages to include are welcome, but
don't be offended if I decline for
whatever reason.whatever reason.
You can find the instructions on how to use it here
The only dependencies listed on the latter page ARE NOT necessary for version 2.8, so you should (hopefully) have most everything you'll need already. But you're probably much more knowledgeable about this than I am, so hopefully the instructions there will give you all the info you need. Also, if you build from source, you shouldn't have any problems with the Ubuntu repo versions (unless you haven't completely uninstalled them already).
