[Mono-devel-list] Splitting up Mono packages.

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,

    After the 0.31 release, we want to split up mono in various packages
with dependencies, and we might find the help of the Debian people
useful here, since they like to split things up.

    The basic is to have the Mono core separated from the higher level
libraries which bring too many deps on us.  This is an initial idea:

mono-core:
	mono runtime, mcs.exe mscorlib.dll, System.dll, System.Xml.dll,
	Mono.Security.dll, I18n.
	deps: icu, libgc, glib.

mono-other:
	Mono.*

mono-remoting:
	System.Runtime.Remoting, System.Runtime.Remoting.Soap

mono-directory:
	Novell.LDAP, System.DirectoryServices

mono-core-devel:
	monodis, ilasm, resgen, all the other small tools.
	deps: mono-core, pkg-config

type-reflector:
	Only type-reflector
	deps; mono-core, gtk#

mono-drawing:
	System.Drawing.dll
	Deps: cairo, libgdiplus, mono-core

mono-asp-net:
	System.Web.dll, System.Web.Services.dll
	deps: mono-core

mono-windows-forms:
	System.Windows.Forms.dll
	Accessibility.dll
	Direct3D managed api.
	deps: mono-drawing, winelib, wine.

mono-db:
	All the database providers here

mono-jscript:
	Microsoft.JScript.dll
	jscript.exe

mono-mbas:
	mbas.exe
	Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll

Ideas?
Miguel.
