[Mono-devel-list] GAC, Shared Assemblies and Assembly Versioning

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,

Answering your second question: the assemblies installed in the system
are effectively shared between all apps today.

> Given that Mono users have the freedom to install Mono and supporting
> libraries pretty much wherever they like, where does this leave the Mono
> implementation of the global assembly cache?  For example, say I want to add
> a shared assembly so that all apps on my machine can use it...?
> 
> Are there any plans for assembly versioning in Mono?

> Thanks for any advice, plans or help with this issue.
