Mono Project Unix was originally all about not being... Multics. If Mono is to follow a similar nomenclature (just for the kicks), we have to talk about Mono's upcoming 'monopolization' and 'monarchy' in the next generation of the Unix programming land. Your see, if everything goes well, in 2 to 3 years most new Gnome user/desktop applications will be written --hopefully-- in Mono and C#. Update: Miguel deIcaza replies.

binfmt_misc support
by scandium on Wed 21st Jan 2004 11:07 UTC

Hello everyone,

for some time now, Gentoo has an init script + config file for using the DotGNU Portable .NET or mono runtime through binfmt_misc.

They are automatically installed when you emerge mono or pnet, check /etc/init.d/dotnet and /etc/conf.d/dotnet afterwards.

Hope that helps Gentoo users that didn't know about this (I added a little info at the end of the merging process, so I suppose everybody sees it ;) and want to make use of this feature.

To get an idea of how it works, check out dev-dotnet/mono/files/ in gentoo.org's viewcvs (the pnet package uses the same files).

Happy hacking ;)
Rainer
